followed by airro'is. With the Perf. (or Pluperf. ) Passive the
place of inre? with Gen. is often taken by the simple Dat. of the
Agent.
In Demosthenes this construction is limited to comparatively few verbs,
especially updr-rw (found 80 times). It occurs 60 times with the Perf.
Participle of that verb, and always in the neuter Plural (similarly in
Aeschines, Lysias, Isocrates, Isaeus). The Dat. usually follows the Parti-
ciple, unless special emphasis is intended (as in 5 ? 18, 18 ? 79, 19 ? 291,
20 ? 80, 21 ? ? 175, 181; [13] ? 26); the emphasis is sometimes slight, as
with 10611911129 ? 1, [58] ? 19, 21 ? ? 19, 127, 129, and with other Datives

although placed after the Participle for special reasons, as in 18 ? 17, 51
? 9, 19 ? ? 32, 67.
With the Perf. Ind. or Inf. the Subject is either a neuter Pronoun in
Plural, as mfna, 61, 111676. , or in Singular, as n', 8, 70910 : or a Pronoun like
0586/, wiivra, woAAci: or an Adjective in neuter Plural 88 ro'wav-rc'a, 8? LV67? P? L
