615 A Ὅς Clause may take any form that is used in simple sentences ([451-489](file:///x:/Departments/Classics_Texts/schoolgrammarofa00goodrich_porson/HTML%20Files/Chapter-451.html)). It may suggest cause, purpose, concession,
and other relations. The negative is οὐ or μή according to
the meaning:
Tοιούτους ἐπιπέμπουσί μοι, οἷς μεῖς οὐκ ἂν δικαίως πιστεύοιτε they send against me such people, whom you would
not justly believe. L. 7, 40. ὃ μὴ γένοιτο which heaven forbid
(may which not happen!). ἔδοξε τῷ δήμῳ τρικοντα ἄνδρας ἑλέσθαι, οἵ τοὺς πατρίους νόμους συγγράψουσι, καθʼ οὕς πολῑτεύσουσι the people voted to choose thirty men to codify the ancestral laws, in accordance with which they should conduct the
government. H. II. 3, 2. ποταμόν, ὃν μὴ περσῃς a river,
which do not thou pass. A. PB. 744. πλάνην φράσω, ἥν ἐγγράφου σὺ μνήμοσιν δέλτοις φρενῶν I will tell thy wandering, which
do thou write in the tablets of thy memory. A. PB. 815.
- a. Instead of repeating a relative in a different case in the
same sentence, Greek usually changes to a demonstrative or
relative pronoun, or leaves the relative to be supplied:
Ξενοφῶν, ὃς οὔτε στρατηγὸς οὔτε στρατιώτης ὤν συνηκολούθει, ἀλλὰ Πρόξενος αὐτὸν μετεπέμψατο Xenophon, who was
with them neither as general nor as soldier, but Proxenos had
sent for him. AN. III. 1, 4.
