[Meaning to/for/in] those who/which have already been.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Τοῖς φθάνουσι· τοῖς ἤδη γεγονόσι.
Betacode
*toi=s fqa/nousi: toi=s h)/dh gegono/si.
Notes
- The headword phrase, with the present participle of
fqa/nw , is in the masculine or neuter dative plural. It must be quoted from somewhere: there are instances in Appian, Civil War 3.3.23, Alexander of Aphrodisias (several times), and later writers.
For the verbfqa/nw , see also phi 475, phi 476, phi 478, phi 480; and see generally LSJ s.v., II, for this sort of sense of it.
