Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 February 2009
Extract
A. Agreement of Participle
(1) Masculine takes precedence over feminine: e.g.
In the first two examples (for which see also II. A. 2 below) the participle may be conceived of as agreeing with the nearer of the two subjects, since it is expressed in the masculine singular. Likewise,
refers specifically to

page 242 note 1 This is the. fourth in a series of articles on the language of Attic prose inscriptions, and should have been published before the article which appears in C.Q. n.s. xix (1969) 289 ff.Google Scholar, which is the fifth of the series. For sources used, C.Q.n.s. xiv (1964) 240Google Scholar, n. 2 and n. 5. Note that in the examples quoted all references are to IG ii2, unless otherwise indicated. S prefixed to a reference refers to Supple-mentum Epigraphicum Graecum; H to Hesperia (H.S. ═ Hesperia Supplement). My purpose in the present article is to present additional evidence which Meisterhans (Grammatik der attischen Inschriften 3) does not offer, and in certain cases to modify, or contradict, statements of his.
page 242 note 2 For the tripartite division of the evidence see C.Q. n.s. xvii (1967) 257Google Scholar, n. 2. ‘State’ inscriptions have no sign added to the numbering to denote them; ‘sub-unit’ inscriptions are denoted by ‘U’ written between the line number and the date; ‘private’ inscriptions by‘P’ in the same position.
