Assignment for Friday, 11-11-16

Dear Intermediate Hellenists,

For Friday, November 11, please do the following:

(1) Homework (not to turn in):

• Read and translate from the middle of page 52, line 18, to page 53 (still book 1.1), line 11 (ending in ...ἐτύγχανεν ἔχων), in our Anabasis textbook.

NOTE: Additional help, keyed to Groton's textbook.

• line 20: δεδομέναι: from δίδωμι, a special class of verbs called μι-verbs (Gr. 47); this is the perfect passive participle.

• line 20: ἀφειστήκεσαν: from ἀφ-ίστημι, a special class of verbs called μι-verbs (Gr. 47); this is the indicative pluperfect active.

• line 23: ἀποστῆναι: second aorist active infinitive of ἀφ-ίστημι.

• line 4: δοθῆναι: first aorist passive infinitive of δίδωμι.

• line 10: ὧν = the relative pronoun ἅς, attracted into the case of the antecedent, πόλεμων (Gr. 50, #290, pp. 372–3).
