B. THE PASSIVE INFINITIVE. 
No example has been found. 
Note. — Less Regular Examples of the Inflected Infinitive Modifying a Noun are given in 
Chapter XIII, pp. 180-181. 
Note: Doubtful Passages. — Owing to the corruptness of the text, it is impossible for me 
to classify the infinitive in the following: — (1) in the prose: Pr. Ps. 26.5 s * b : geseon and on - 
gitan; Chron. 128 b , 995 F b * c : sprytan and wyrcan; Bl. Horn. 179.31: sellan [ syllan ]; — (2) in 
the poetry: Gen. 2038 ifeallan (or should b efeollon, as Grein gives it?); Ju. 289: sellan [syllan]; 
Chr. 24: sprecan; And. 1025: neosan. — The context shows that we probably have a finite 
verb, not an infinitive, in the following passages: Solil. 14.2: gecyrran; Lcece. 128.7: teon (should 
be teo ?); Pr. Ps. 16.14 b : healdan (though it is possible that healdan may be an infinitive of 
purpose).
