Hello,
I'm teaching myself Attic Greek and I'm currently reading the Ethica Nicomachea with parallel English text (yes, I'm cheating! ).
I have two questions:
1) 1116b15
ὅπε? κἀπὶ τῷ Ἑ?μαίῳ συνέβη.
s κἀπὶ a crasis for καὶ ?πὶ or what else?
2) 1116b20
οἳ δὲ καὶ ?ξ ἀ?χῆς ?κινδύνευον ὡς κ?είττους ὄντες
Does κ?είττους actually stand for κ?είττονες ? I thought that maybe the ν was dropped and οε contracted to ου.
Many thanks!

Thanks for the tip. I'm also reading Aesop's fables. What do you think of them?vir litterarum wrote:I don't think Aristotle is the best author to use as a source for teaching yourself Attic Greek. There are already aspects of his composition that indicate a transition from Attic to Koine, so you would be better off beginning with an author such as Plato.
