Search results for epsilon,3705 in Adler number:
Greek display:    

Headword: *eu(/rwmai
Adler number: epsilon,3705
Translated headword: I would find
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
['I would find' can be used] instead of I will find.[1] Also [attested is] eu(/rwmen ["we would find"] instead of we will find.[2]
Greek Original:
*eu(/rwmai: a)nti\ tou= eu(rh/sw. kai\ *eu(/rwmen, a)nti\ tou= eu(rh/somen.
Notes:
The headwords are aorist middle subjunctive -- first person singular and first person plural -- of eu(ri/skw (epsilon 3697); and the point being made is that such subjunctives are sometimes found where we would expect the future indicative ("prospective subjunctive").
The primary headword eu(/rwmai occurs in Pausanias and Gregory of Nazianzus, but both times with normal subjunctive usage.
[1] Likewise, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon (2660).
[2] Likewise in ps.-Herodian (274)
