JWW excercise 266.

[Hammurabi]

Hi you budies!!

I'm keeping going witth the book

Everything has been done by the generals
1. πεποίκασιν οἱ στÏ￾ατηγοὶ πᾶν.
All the soldiers were proceeding willingly.
2. πάντες οἱ στÏ￾ατιώται ἑκὼν ποÏ￾εÏ￾οντο.
The gifts of the satrap were all beautiful.
3. πάντα Ï„á½° τοῦ σατÏ￾άπου δῶÏ￾α καλὰ ἦν.
Afterwards all the guards were drawn up.
4. ὕστεÏ￾ον δὲ πάντες οἱ φÏ￾λακεσ τεταγμένοι ἦσαν.
The entire army proceedend trough the plain twenty-five parasangs.
5. διὰ δὲ τοῦ πεδίου πᾶν τὸ στÏ￾άτευμα παÏ￾ασάγγας εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε ποÏ￾εÏ￾σατο.

I have one more question:
In Wherlock's latin there is a syntaxis guide...I mean a ¨nice way¨to order words, it is:
1. subject and modifiers.
2. indirect object
3. direct object.
4. adverbial forms and phrases.
5. the verb.

Is there any formula like this in ancient greek, I mean not a "real" rule but a simple guide to order the words within the sentence.


thanx very much in advance for your help and time

Well done ! Accent is near perfect !

Everything has been done by the generals
1. πεποίκασιν οἱ στÏ￾ατηγοὶ πᾶν. Here you used the active voice, but the same meaning can be expressed in the passive :
πάντα (rather plural) πεποίηται ὑπὸ τῶν στÏ￾ατηγῶν.
All the soldiers were proceeding willingly.
2. πάντες οἱ στÏ￾ατιώται ἑκὼν ποÏ￾εÏ￾οντο.
πάντες οἱ στÏ￾ατιῶται (circumflex) ἕκοντες (in the plural nominative) á¼￾ποÏ￾εύοντο (don’t forget the augment).
The gifts of the satrap were all beautiful.
3. πάντα Ï„á½° τοῦ σατÏ￾άπου δῶÏ￾α καλὰ ἦν. Tadaa ! Wonderful !
Afterwards all the guards were drawn up.
4. ὕστεÏ￾ον δὲ πάντες οἱ φÏ￾λακες τεταγμένοι ἦσαν. (means rather « had been drawn up », so I would rather use an aorist here, i. e. á¼￾τάχθησαν)
The entire army proceedend trough the plain twenty-five parasangs.
5. διὰ δὲ τοῦ πεδίου πᾶν τὸ στÏ￾άτευμα παÏ￾ασάγγας εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε ποÏ￾εÏ￾σατο. (augment is lacking. Otherwise you built a correct first aorist middle, but unfortunately, according to the principal parts, the aorist from ποÏ￾εύομαι is a passive one : á¼￾ποÏ￾εύθην, so here á¼￾ποÏ￾εύθησαν)

merci beaucoup sylax!!

Je dois travailler aux "aorits" des "passifs" et "middles"

I really have trouble with those
