Notes (1)

  1. This verb, in other words, takes accusative of what is bought and (as in the example: see note below) genitive of its price. Syntactic lexica show w)nou=mai with genitive.
    cf. omega 123.
  2. 1A garbled version of Demosthenes 9.9 (web address 1): chiefly, the pronoun w(=| should be o(/, and the participle eu(riskome/nwn 'being found' should be a)naliskome/nwn 'being spent'. ↩
