It is obvious that the antecedent Ó VOl"O"Ve'fJç è"ûvoç needs an (essential) relat. clause in order to be determined. Yet the poet confers a certain independence on this relat. clause by adding TÓV. The reason why he does so is, I believe, that he wants to show that these words are pronounced by the king with great emphasis. In this way he makes him underline the contradistinction between his own plans and the following story about the simpleton Pezostratis, who dared to speak of a marriage of Aretousa and his son Erotocritos. A 1443 fl' àç Ta' à"OAOVOä "al OéA.el &ï neáfla nov éJèv T' aAnt!;el . .. Aretousa is so amazed and so happyabout what she found in the room of Erotocritos that she cannot help emphasizing the content of the relat. clause. More examples of this kind are A 894, 1234-6, B 201-2 and r 1_2 192 . 2.4.3.2. Nonessential clauses without a pronomen coniunctum 2.4.3.2.l. 14th-15th centuries Chrono Mor. 299 HP ( èaTeácp'fJ"e) aTov Tónov TOV vrè MovcpaeàvT ónov nOAAà èneOvfla.

It is perfectly clear that in all these instances the antecedent is definite, and thus the relat. clause need not be essential. Another thing which is clear is that this (nonessential) relat. clause is a fill-up: it is used four times and all these times it is not very meaningful. We have met another example of such a fill-up in Livistr. E 806, discussed in 2.4.2 193 • Mach. 172,9-11 ...

PRONOMEN ABUNDANS AND PRONOMEN CONIUNCTUM 59 he probably believed that one pronomen coniunctum in the second part of the relat. clause was sufficient.

Such clauses which contain a wish are evidently nonessential and in other cases are provided with a pronomen coniunctum.

The pronomen coniunctum -rà may have dropped out, especially because in similar cases the author always uses the resumpt. pronoun: see 68,9-10 about Tà ana{}l Tof} rOÀtáfJ, 68,12-4 about Tà loCOVTá(!t TOf} Eafltpof} and 72,4-6 about -rà àna'JIwepó(!t -rof} , E~s(!Uvov. 2.4.3.2.2. Erotocrito8. It has been maintained in 2.4.3.1.4 that man, expressing himself by means of language, may play with it. In some examples of (seemingly) essential clauses which nevertheless contain a pronomen coniunctum we saw that a great poet as Cornaros of ten does so. In this paragraph we shall discuss some examples of nonessential clauses where Cornaros did not use a resumpt. pronoun. L1 1265-6 '0 (!~yaç; fJávét Àoytaflà và nátpovv Ot noÀiflot, -rà a'lflaTa loCt' ot aloCoTwflo{, nov oÀoç; ó ~óafloç; -r(!iflSt. The relat. clause, which constitutes a close union with the antecedent. gives the impression of being al most a fill-up: its only function is giving a rather self-evident quality of the antecedent 194. E 554-6 ................. Tà flána -rà fJW(!of}at nwç; elv' Tà CJa~-rv).{CJt'JI -ra'fJ fli -r' àloC(!tfJà Caepet(!t, nov ' CJw~s TOf} Pw-ró~(!t-rov ànà -rà na(!afJv(!t. The poet should have written nov TÓ 'CJWloCS, as the relat. clause is clearly nonessential and its content of great importance. Apparently Cornaros had a different view. By choosing this form, he makes the relat. clause contribute towards determining the antecedent: Aretousa does not only see that this is her own ring, the ring with the sapphire, she also recognizes the "Erotocritos-ring" in it, the ring which is particularly characterized by the fa ct that once she gave it to her lover. 194 Cf. the instanees from the Ohron.
