Those [sc. nouns and adjectives] which are formed from a future tense [are] proparoxytone, a)neyio/s ["cousin"] and decio/s ["right"] are oxytone. But plh/sios [comes] from plh=tos, plh/tios, like a)/mbrotos ["immortal"], a)mbro/sios ["ambrosial"], with a change of the ending. But plh/sios has not come from a future; for the Laconians do not change derivatives from a future into tau, but from those into sigma:[1] e)niauto/s ["year"], e)niau/sios ["annual"], they say e)niau/tios, giving a reminder of the original tau. [For] plou/sios ["wealthy"] [they say] plou/tios, and [for] plh/sios [they say] plh/tios. So [it is] not from a future.[2]
