24 l'RONOMEN ABUNDANS AND PRONOMEN CONIUNCTUM<br />
2.2.1. Examples similar to Ancient Greek<br />
Polyb. XXIX 6,5 È~ dJV Sn pb yéyové -rtç È'Jrm').o"ij np IIseaû :rreoç -rOV<br />

È" -rwv :rreOSte'YjfLévwv.<br />
The expression È" 'l'WV :rreoSte'YjfLévwv may be regarded as being a pronoun :<br />
Polybius is fond of using it for variety's sake instead of demonstr.<br />
pronouns 58.<br />
Polyb. I 20,15 Èv qJ Mj "ate0 -rwv KaeX'YJCJovlwv "a-rà 'l'OV :rrOe{}fLOV È:rravaX{}év'l'wV<br />

:rreoç -rav-r'Yjv È:rrowVv-ro -rijv . . . vav:rr'Yjylav ..•<br />
This time the pleonastic phrase is not a pronoun, but an adverb.<br />
Polyb. VI 10,3 "a{}á:rrse yà(! f1t&]erp fLiv lóç, ~v').Otç CJi {}el:rrsç "at -rse'YjCJóvsç<br />

It is clear that these three instances are quite similar to the ones taken<br />
from Plato <strong>and</strong> Xenophon, mentioned in 1.1. In all of them the relat.<br />
clause is interrupted by another clause, <strong>and</strong> thus one might say that the<br />
pronomen abundans appears here for clearness' sake 59. In the third example<br />
the fact that the attributive participle 'l'WV avyyevofLévwv needs the support<br />
of a noun might be viewed as a second reason.<br />
P. Oxy. I 95,16 (129 A.D.) ... CJovÀ'Yjç LJwa"OeOV'l'Oç wç ÈTwv "s àf111fLOV,<br />

purchase, having previously belonged to H .... This slave J. Germ. then<br />
took from him just as she was ... " 60.<br />
This use of the pronomen abundans may be compared with what is done<br />
by Herodotus in IV 44,1: the function of Tav-r'Yjv is to support the phrase<br />
-rotav'l''Yjv àva:rróeetcpov 61.<br />
P. Amh. II 77,25 ff. (139 A.D.) 62 ••• È:rrol'Yjaáv fLs fLaanyova{}at elç 'l'O<br />

The use of the pronomen abundans -rOV'l'O may be considered as being<br />
caused by emotional stress: from a juridical point of view this last fact is<br />
of the greatest importance.<br />

This example may be compared again with Hdt. IV 44,1 63 :<br />
