92 PRONOMEM ABUNDANS AND PRONOMEN CONIUNCTUM That 8nov is a substitute for 8ç becomes clear in 300 C . .. xai 1'011 àc5eÄ.IPoll lX01l1'a 1'~1I AVn?]lI ... Dan.

The fust 8nov may be regarded as representing 8'1', the second as representing iIP' w, "to which we are called". Leont., Joh. 46,18 ' Exe'ivoç 8nov iftaye{(!evell, i~ip .. Oev 1'(!Éxwv . . ., "The man who used to cook for us . ..". It can by no means mean something like "And he left the place where he had been cooking", 8nov representing the phrase "from the pI ace where ...". 3.3. Weakening ot 8nov = where Did the local sense of 8nov weaken or was it perhaps completely lost? It would be understandable if this had happened : the meaning of 8nov had widened so much that it ended in being a mere connective. Hesseling observed the same thing and found some examples in the Apocalyp8e where 8nov was reinforced by èxe'i or by means of a prepositional phrase 306. It is good to consider these examples, while at the same time we add some more. Apoc. 12,6 . . . elç 1'ijv l(!'Yjftov, 8nov lXet ixe i 1'6noll fJ1'otftaaftÉlIov ..• Id. 12,14 . " elç 1'0'1' 1'6nov av1'ijç, 8nov 1'(!ÉIPe1'at ixei . .. Mart. Matth. 217,2 F 1'0 O(!OÇ 8nov 17ft?]V ixei . .. We have seen more of such cases in the LXX. In I 2.4.4.1 some instances of essential clauses were discussed, among which was, e.g., Gen. 20,13 .. . elç náv'l'a 1'6noll, 0-0 iàv elaüOwftell i x ei 307. In all these instances Semitic influence is apparent. The following examples may be compared with Regn. III 13,25 . . . 0-0 Ó n(!o~1'?]ç ... xanpxet ill av1'fj, which is also due to Semitic influence 308. Apoc. 17,9 at Én1'à xeIPaAai Én1'à O(!?] ela{v, 8nov fJ yvvij xáO?]'l'at in' av'l'löv. Ge8t. Pil. A 15,4 ... iv oixep 8nov OV(!iç ovx 1}v iv av1'q>. Can all these instances be considered as cases of Semitic influence? If they are, they are valueless: then they do not give us any information about the use and function of 8nov in Greek. We shall revue them: Apoc. 12,6 is an instance (see I 2.4.5.6); 12,14 is not necessarily one (see the same paragr.); Mart. Matth. 217,2 F is an instance (the relat. clause is essential), and so are Apoc. 17,9 (see I 2.4.5.6) and Ge8t. Pil. A 15,4 (see I 2.5.2). Only Apoc. 12,14 may be considered as a genuine Greek clause, at least according to the rule set by us. If one soos, however, 306 Hesseling, IIoiJ, p. 219. Dieterich had the same idea, it seems (p. 201): "Wie man a1so sagte : T1)V aTÉyrJv 8:/tov *" konnte man auch sagen, entweder : T1)v aTÉy1]V 8nov ÛÓOV oder: 1j aTÉy1] 8nov *' beû . .." . 307 See a.lso note 113. 308 See a.lso note 112.
PRONOMEN ABUNDANS AND PRONOMEN CONIUNCTUM 93 how many identical cases occur in the LXX, texts which were written some centuries before, one starts doubting even ab out this one. Or should these examples not be considered as cases of the pronomen abundans, but as something new, a phenomenon caused only by the fact that önov, when it had alocal sense, needed a reinforcing element? This seems to be confirmed by the only example which has been found outside of the atmosphere of the LXX : P. Bad. II 43,6-11 (lIl A.D.) ÈvefJaAófld)a elç ia nAolov 'Ueaxoç ioiJ nOAtTtXoiJ ioiJ g;lAov aov, önov (= at whose house) Ëfleveç Èv{)áfJe uv' (= uvw P09) Èv in olxlq. aVioiJ, lAalov fJát5w Tiaaeea. The adverb is reinforced by the phrase Èv in olxlq. aVioiJ, and thus it is similar to, e.g., Apoc. 17,9 önov . .. Èn' avnóv. They are different, however: the relat. clause in the papyrus is nonessential : it forms a parenthesis. There is still another objection against Hesseling's supposition: more examples of this phenomenon do not occur. They do not occur even in the texts of the 5th-7th centuries, when the sen se of önov was even broader 310. And the situ at ion in Modern Greek is exactly the opposite of what should have been expected: when önov has alocal sense, it is not necessarily followed by a pronomen coniunctum 311 . It is exactly in this case that the rule is looser applied. It may be concluded that, ifthe local sense of önov actually has weakened, this weakening has not had consequences for the development of the language. It must be admitted, however, that for a short time people may have feIt inclined to reinforce it. We cannot be positive of this, as one papyrus is not enough proof. 3.4. Other opinions There have been, as far as I know, two scholars who did not agree with the theory discussed above. They had another opinion about the origin of önov as arelat. pronoun. 3.4.1. Koraïs 312 believed that this phenomenon was a consequence of Western influences. He thought primarily of the Italian relat. pronoun che. That this theory cannot be correct is quite clear : 1. Italian influences on the Greek language did not start until the 13th century, 2. the first ex am pIes of önov used as arelat. pronoun in early Modern Greek stem from the 12th century, 3. the examples mentioned in 3.2 occur in still older texts, written in the 5th, 6th and 7th century 313. 3.4.2. Hatzidakis 314, disagreeing with the examples given by Jannaris (see 3.2), said: "Tà ... vna ioiJ Ftávvae'YJ naeau{)évTa xwela t5vvav-rat và 309 Proposed by Kapsomenakis, p . 99, note 2. 310 See, e.g., the instanees discussed in 3.2.1. 311 See II 2.2.2. 312 A. Koraïs, "ATa~Ta I, p. 65. 313 Cf. Mavrofrydis, p . 612 and Hatzidakis, no 1l0V, p . 50. 314 Hatzidakis, ·01lov.
