82 PRONOMEN ABUNDANS AND PRONOMEN CONIUNCTUM<br />

déjà sûrement à l'usage qui a prévalu; nous en avons quelques précurseurs<br />

dans Ie grec classique". Thus Psichari gave a positive answer to the<br />

question we posed, but did this without giving any proof.<br />

It was Wackernagel who put this fact on record, saying 265: " • .. die<br />

Gleichartigkeit der relativen nov - Sätze des Neugriechischen mit biblischen<br />

Sätzen nach Art von olç èbóO'fJ aVToiç scheint mir nicht erwiesen".<br />

With the intuition proper to a great scholar he chose an example (Apoc.<br />

7,2) which actually happens to be a Semitism 266. We shall, however, take<br />

good Greek examples like P. Oxy. I 117,12 ff. U cIJv bwaetç Toiç nal(j[olç<br />

aov tv U aVTWv 267 <strong>and</strong> see whether there is any correlation between<br />

examples like these <strong>and</strong> the Modern Greek idiom.<br />

2. THE PRONOMEN ABUNDANS<br />

From the 4th century onward one finds less instances of the pronomen<br />

abundans. Almost all of them stem from hagiographic texts, i.e. from<br />

texts written for the lower classes. In literary texts it does not occur<br />

any longer: Paus. II 4,6 (II A .D .) may be considered as the last one.<br />

2.1. Examples<br />

The following examples have been found 268:<br />

In this case the pronomen aburulans does not follow the relat. pronoun<br />

immediately, but later, in the third instance. It is something quite normal<br />

<strong>and</strong> also occurs in Ancient Greek 270.<br />

Sym. Styl. 30,24 "ai lbov 1}v na(!a"e{f-levov qJ(!Éa(! nA'fJa{ov TOV f-lOVaaT'fJ(!{ov,<br />

One gets the impression that the author changed his mind in making<br />

the subject of the clause not the man himself, but his deeds.<br />

Act. Xanth. 75,16 f. ... 'I'fJaov, ov ij OA.'i1plÇ TWV èv ~eVlTe{q. "lvei n(!àç<br />
