THE MEMORY OF

THOMAS DAY SEYMOUR

PREFACE
The aim of this work is to fnrnish in concise form the essential material for an introductory study of the Greek dialects. Hitherto there has been no single volume intended to fulfill the requirements
of college and graduate students who wish to gain a first-hand knowledge of Greek dialects, whether for a better understanding of historical Greek grammar, or for a greater appreciation of the variety of speech in the Greek world, only half suspected from the few dialects employed in literature, or as a substantial foundation for a
critical

study of these literary

dialects, or

merely for the ability to

handle intelligently the numerous dialect inscriptions which are important in the investigation of Greek institutions.
It is

now more than

ten years since the author formed the plan

of publishing a brief collection of

Greek

dialect inscriptions with

explanatory notes for the use of students, and made a selection for
this purpose.

At

that time Cauer's Delectus inscriptionum Graeca^

ed. 1883),

which proved useful for many

years,

the case of several dialects the material there given was quite over-

shadowed in importance by the discoveries of recent years. In the meantime this situation has been relieved by the publication of Solmsen's Inscriptiones Graecae ad inlustrandas dialectos selectae. But another need, which it was equally a part of the plan to supply, namely of more explanatory matter for the assistance of beginners in the subject, has remained unfilled up to the present time, though here again in the meantime a book has been announced as in preparation (Thumb's Handbuch der griechischen Dialekte) which presumably aims to serve the same purpose as the present one. With regard to the explanatory matter, the first plan was to accompany the inscriptions not only by exegetical, but also by rather full grammatical notes, with references to the grammars where the

of the Dialects,"

Greek Grammars, where, naturally, the dialectic peculiarities are not sifted out from the discussion of the usual literary forms, or else the various grammars of special dialects. For, since Ahrens,
the works devoted to the Greek dialects, aside from discussions of special topics, have consisted in separate grammars of a single dialect or, at the most, of a single group of dialects. Some of the advantages which this latter method undoubtedly possesses we have aimed to preserve by means of the Summaries (pp. 129-153).

Highly important as are the dialects for the comparative study Greek language, this Grammar is distinctly not intended as a manual of comparative Greek grammar. It restricts itself to the discussion of matters in which dialectic differences are to be observed, and the comparisons are almost wholly within Greek itself. Furthermore, the desired brevity could be secured only by eliminating almost wholly any detailed discussion of disputed points and citation of the views of others, whether in agreement or in oppoSome notes and references sition to those adopted in the text. are added in the Appendix, but even these are kept within narrow limits. Several of these references are to articles which have appeared since the printing of the Grammar, which began in Septemof the

Especial pains have been taken to define as precisely as possible

the dialectic distribution of the several peculiarities, and

and without exhaustive lists of examples, fuller information of this kind has been brought together than is to be found in any other general work. Biit, as the most competent critics will also be the first to admit, no one can be safe from the danger of having overlooked some stray occurrence of a given peculiarity in the vast and still much scattered material; and, furthermore, such statements of distribution are subject to the need of continual revision in the light of the constantly appearing

material.

The transcription employed is also identical with that used by Solmsen in his second edition, but this again is the result of longsettled conviction that this system, as used for example by Baunack in his Inschriften von Gortyn (1885) and his edition of the Delphian inscriptions (1891), is the one best adapted for a work of this kind.

the need of a comment or reference for a form that, from the point of view of the dialect in question, has nothing abnormal about it.

Furthermore, the Glossary makes it unnecessary to comment on many individual words. Detailed discussion of the problems of
chronology, constitutional antiquities, etc. which are involved in many of the inscriptions is not called for in a work the principal

aim of which is linguistic. It is sometimes advisable for a student to depart from the order in which the inscriptions are given, and to begin his study of a dialect with one of the later inscriptions, e.g. in Arcadian to read first

not for the wealth of inscriptions which the

soil of

Greece has yielded in modern times.

The existence of Ionic, Aeolic, and Doric elements in the people and speech of Greece is an undoubted fact of Greek history, and one of first importance to an understanding of the dialect relations. But there is no warrant, either ia the earUer Greek tradition or in the linguistic evidence, for making this an aU-inclusive classification. These three elements were precipitated, as it were, on the coast of Asia ilinor, where their juxtaposition gave rise to the historical recognition of the distinction.

And

as the lonians, Aeolians,

and Dorians

of

Asia Minor were colonists from Greece proper,

was a natural and proper inference of the historians that they reflected ethnic divisions which also existed, or had once existed, in

there was of course no mystery. They formed a well-defined group

throughout the historical period, and the tradition that they came originally from the Northwest is completely home out by the close

and Northwest Greek dialects (see below). That the lonians were akin to the inhabitants of Attica was an accepted fact in Greek history, and the Athenians are called Ionic both in Herodotus (e.g. 1.56) and Thucydides (6.82, 7.57). The
relationship of the Doric

1 It is equally natural, and quite iustiflable as a matter of convenience, to apply the same names to these earlier divisions. That the name Ionian, for example, did not gain its current application on the mainland, but in the east, is of no consequence. Such generic terms are everywhere of gradual growth. 2 That is, in a period contemporaneous with the Aeolic and Achaean occupation of other parts of Greece (see below). Of a still remoter period the view has been advanced that the lonians formed the first wave of Greek migration, were in fact the much-discussed Pelasgians, and for a time occupied also the territory which with the next wave of migration became Aeolic or Achaean.

ment of Thucydides that the Boeotian invaders were from Arne, whence they had been driven by the Thessalians,^ we should recognize in these Boeotians, not a part of the old AeoKc population of Thessaly, but a tribe of West Greek invaders from Epirus (cf. Mt. Boeon), like the Thessalians who forced them onward. The Aeolic

to be ascribed rather to the tribes, or

and there are


190.1, 193.2,3,

certain points of agreement with Attic-Ionic (see


I).

One may surmise that the latter, which are in part confined to Arcadian, are due to contact with lonians on the coast of the Peloponnesus (see above, p. 2), and
that the connections with Aeolic are earlier and more fundamental,

with Aeohc peoples somewhere in Northern Greece. But that brings us before the " mystery of the Achaean- name," that most difficult problem of the relation between the Achaeans of the Phthiotis and the pre-Doric Achaeans of the Peloponnesus, and of those again to the historical Achaeans on the Corinthian Gidf, whose dialect is West Greek.

In Aetolia, for example, before the rise of the Northwest Greek Koivq there was undoubtedly a distinct Northwest Greek dialect, probably most nearly related to Locrian, but of this pure Aetolian we have no knowledge. Of the speech of Aeniania and Malis previous to the Aetolian domination we have no remains. It is natural to suppose that Northwest Greek dialects were once spoken also in Acarnania and Epirus. But here the influence of the Corinthian colonies was strong from an early period, as shown by the use of the Corinthian alphabet in the few early inscriptions and in later times, from which nearly all the material dates, the language employed is not the

and hence did not affect the latter (so Att. jrpa.TTOi, but pjjTwp). That is, the 17 from d was at first an extremely open e-sound, even more open than that of original e, and even in the historical period the two sounds are distinguished in the spelling of some inscriptions of the Cyclades. See 4.6. 6. The d arising from lengthening of a in connection with original intervocalic vcr, (TV, etc., undergoes the same change, e.g. Att.-Ion. i<j>rjva. from l<^va,, original *^av<Ta.

Cf. also Boeot.

Bpavi8a<; beside

In most dialects p was lost before the time of our earliest inscriptions and we find, as in Attic, initial p, medial pp or p. See a.
a. In the case of medial pp, which would occur only in compounds and augmented or reduplicated forms of words with initial pp, the p unites with the preceding vowel to form a diphthong in Lesbian (cf. 35), e.g. evpayrj, avpr/KTOs (Herodian) from *i-ppa,yrj, *a-/rp7;KTos (Att. ippdyrj, apprjKro^'), Horn. raXavpivoi from *TaA.o-/rptvos. But elsewhere the syllabification of the simplex (or form without augment or reduplication) was retained (i. e. pp with the following vowel), and later this pp became pp or sometimes p, e. g. Arg. pf.pplp.eva., appireve, later dpijTeue. In Attic and most dialects augmented and reduplicated forms have pp, as Att. ippridriv (etp-^Ko. is formed after the analogy of forms like eiXricjia, 76 b), ippdy-qv, eppmya, Heracl. ippyjya., while compounds also usually have pp but sometimes p under the continued influence of the simplex, as Att. avapprjOm but also 6.vapyj6a<i, Delph. hlpj.pprivwv (from. *-^pI-pp7]v, like ^p.i-ovo's, cf. Horn, irokv-ppr/v), but also h-qiuprp/aw.. Cf pp and p from a-p, 76 h. The development of medial pk was probably parallel (cf. El. d/rXaveos etc., above), though there is no example in Lesbian.

1 In quoting forms from inscriptions, wherever the sign for the spiritus asper appears in the original it is transcribed h, to be distinguished from ', which is supplied as a purely diacritical sign, like accent marks, and the employment of which is, in many special cases, of doubtful propriety. That is, the evidence is often insufficient to determine whether the omission of the sign of the asper is merely graphic, in which case we should transcribe the form with ', or due to an actual loss of the sound, in which case we should transcribe with '. As a work-

ing rule we employ the lenis in quoting forms without h from inscriptions which have the character or are of a period when it was certainly in common use.

due to contamination with some other word. d. Besides such special cases as have been noted in a, h, and c, there are in some dialects irregularities which seem to be due to confusion in spelling consequent upon the asper being weakly sounded or on the verge of total disappearance, though even some of these may possibly be due to special causes.

The phenomena
such as

of external combination, or sentence pho-

consonant assimilation,

etc.,

are found
is

in all dialects.

But

in Greek, as in most other languages, there

more and more the scope of such changes, and to prefer, in formal speech and its written form, the uncombined forms. The iascriptions, Attic as well as those of other dialects,
a tendency to limit
differ greatly in this respect

according to their time and character. The following general observations may be made. 1. The changes occur mainly between words standing in close logical relation. Thus oftenest in prepositional phrases, or between the article, adjective, or particle and the noun with which it agrees
frequently between particles like Kai,
Se, /^eV,
etc.

and the

pre-

ceding or following word

less often

between the subject or object

and the following verb, and very rarely in looser combinations. 2. While the less radical changes, such as the ehsion of a short vowel or the simpler forms of consonant assimilation, are least
restricted in scope
of crasis

and survive the

longest, the

more violent forms

and

of consonant assimilation are the

most infrequent and


mute, espe-

the soonest given up.

Thus, in the matter of consonant assimila-

tion, the partial assimilation of a nasal to a following

cially a labial, as in rafi irokiv, is

very

common in

all dialects

down

to a late period
(cf. 96.1),

and sometimes observed even in loose combinations but examples like toX Xoiyov, roiiv v6fiov<;, etc. are comparaand practically
restricted to early inscriptions.

The subjunctive without Ka

is

used in the same sense in a late

(no. 61.32,36).

The optative in conditional clauses survives in several

dialects, although, except in Elean, it is

much

less frequent

than

the subjunctive, and indeed

is

almost wholly eliminated in favor of

the subjunctive in Attic-Ionic inscriptions, and in Lesbian, Thessalian, Boeotian,

Cyprian, Heraclean, Theran, Coan, Ehodian,

in

fact in the majority of dialects.

Where

the optative survives,

it is

sometimes used with a

still

recognizable differentiation from the

subjunctive, but oftener without such.

In the Gortynian Law-Code,

which

offers

the fullest material, there are in conditional clauses

about 50 optatives to about 80 subjunctives.

Some

of these occur

where the contingency

Although, only a part of these characteristics are actually quotable from every one of the West Greek dialects, some indeed from only a few,
it is

were

probable that, except for the divergence of Cretan in 5 and 7, they common to all, and that the absence of examples in any dialect is

accidental.

Thus, forms like

<^/9o/xc$

are attested for Phocian and most of

the Doric dialects, but there is no occurrence of a first plural form in Locrian and Elean, and in Rhodian only from the time when -/itv had been

introduced from the kolv^, just as it was at Delphi before the end of the fourth century b. c. The early substitution of the kolvq forms of the numerals and the rare occurrence of the personal pronouns in inscriptions, account for the incomplete representation of 2, 3, 16-19.

There are various other peculiarities the scope of which coincides even with the Northwest Greek dialects proper, but the spread of which in the northern part of Greece is noticeable, e. g. masc. ci-stems with nom. sg. -d, gen. sg. -as (105.1a, 2i), patronymics in -wSas or -dvSas (164.8), proper names in -K\eas (166.1).

The extant texts of treaties are, as a rule, in the dialect of that party in whose territory the text was found, and it is to be assumed that the version inscribed by the other party in its home was likewise in its dialect. Thus, for example, the monetary agreement between Mytilene and Phocaea in the Lesbian version
found at 'Mytilene
(no. 21),

the treaty of alliance between Elis and

Heraea

(in

Arcadia) in the Elean version found at Olympia (no. 58).

the Thessalian dialect (no. 28).

An inscription of Mytilene contains the text of a decree of the Aetolian league in favor of Mytilene, in
Aetolian (Xorthwest Greek Koivq) form, a copy of which had been brought back by the Mytilenaean envoys, followed by a decree of ilytilene in Lesbian, quoting from the former decree and ordering the inscription of both. The regulations of the religious sanctuaries of Greece are drawn up in the dialect of the state which has direct charge of them, no less in the great Hellenic centers

which became Aetohan in the course of the third century B.C. Without doubt it was also used in Doris, from which we have no material, and in Eastern Locris. In Boeotia, which was in the Aetolian league but a short time (245-234 B.C.), it was never employed, though there are some few traces of its influence (222). The only extant decrees of Cephallenia and Ithaca, of about 200 B.C., are in this same Northwest Greek koiv^, reminding us that Cephallenia, of which Ithaca was a dependency, was allied
all of

with the Aetolians (Polyb. 4.6). Parts of the Peloponnesus were also for a time under Aetohan domination, and the characteristic dative plural in -ots is found in Arcadia, Messenia (also iv = ek),

Cyprian
The Cyprian Syllabary

Nearly all the Cyprian inscriptions are written in a special syllabary. This consists of signs for each of the five vowels these being used where no consonant immediately precedes, that is initially and for the second and signs for each combination of consonant and element of diphthongs

rne, etc. But there is no distinction between long and short vowels, nor, in the case of mutes, between surd, sonant, and aspirate. Hence the sign te (the transcription with t is a matter of conven-

following vowel, as ma,

tion)

may

stand for
e.g.

te, rrj, Se, 87;,

6e.,

or

6ri.

Nasals before consonants are

not written,

ati=

a.(y)rL^

For a final consonant the sign containing the vowel e is used, e.g. kase For groups of consonants the first is indicated by the sign containing the vowel of the syllable to which this consonant belongs. That is, its vowel is determined by the following in the case of initial groups and consonant -I- liquid by the preceding in the case of liquid -t- consonant, and also o- -I- consonant (cf. 89.1). 1\ms potoline = tttoXlv, patiri= iraTpl,,

Ko.^.

euvere

la sa tu

tvpptT&craTv, a ra

leu

ro

= apyvpo,

e se ta se

= t<rTa<T. Exam-

ples of other groups are rare.^


1 In the Greek transcription the mutes are distinguished and the nasal before consonants is supplied in parentheses. But e and o, not 7;, a, are used, in accordance with the practice adopted for other inscriptions where the signs 77 and a are not in use. For some uncertainties in regard to the proper transcription, see 199. 2 We find me ma name no i = luiivaiiAvot, ka si ke ne toise = Ka'a^iyverois but i ki mamenose = Ixixaixivoi, terekinija = Tipxvija, tipetera- = SupBepa-, -vanakoto

28 a. The lexicons give Iktio-is, doubtless because of rurts. But there is no evidence that the penult was short, and, while the word seems not to occur in the Attic inscriptions, the spelling Iktio-is is decidedly the more usual in the papyri (Mayser, Gram. d. Papyri, 91), thus agreeing with Ion. fKTaa-K (SGDI.5532.17) and Arc. e<rTet(r (no.18.32). The introduction of the strong grade of the root is due to the influence of the verbal forms. 34a.

For pp, especially in Boeotian, cf. Solmsen,Rh.^I.LIX,486ff. But just what dialects, besides Attic, West Ionic, Arcadian, Elean, and

is to be recognized as normal, cannot be determined with any from the existing evidence. In some dialects where we find a few examples both of pp and of per, or even of pa- only, the latter may be so late as to be easily attributable to koivi; influence. But it is also possible that in some dialects pp was only an occasional colloquialism and that ptr was preserved, even without external influence, in careful speech. Cf. 86, p. 68. The isolated Kapputv (also in Tim. Locr. and Plut. Instit. Lac.) is especially significant. But we do not ffeel warranted as yet in assuming

GLOSSARY AND INDEX


In the alphabetical arrangement the presence of p is ignored, in order to obviate the separation of the many forms which occur with and without it. Thus (f)CKaTi, i.e. plKaTL or [Kan, stands in the position of tKari, and vo(f)6s in the position of vads. f stands in the position of k. For inflectional forms the conventional captions (nom. sg., 1 sg. pres. indie.) are sometimes substituted, and in these the transcription which we have employed for forms occurring in the epichoric alphabets is frequently replaced by the more familiar spelling, e.g. e, o. A, by ij, w, ', or Cret. tt, k, by 0, x- But the precise form occurring is sometimes retained as a caption, or added, or given separately witli a cross-reference. Brevity and convenience in each case have been preferred to consistency. The references are numbers in Clarendon type, to the sections of the Grammar, or, where App. is added, to the corresponding sections of the Appendix; otherwise, to the numbers of the inscriptions. The Heraclean Tables (no. 74) and the Cretan Law-Code (no. 110) are cited by name.

CHARTS AND MAP


The charts are intended
peculiarities

to exhibit, in a

form which

may

be

easily Surveyed, the distribution of

some

of the

more important
241

common

to several dialects.

Chart I (repeated with


f.)

slight corrections

from the author's

article in Glass. Phil. II,

represents a selection of

phenomena which

are especially signifiis

cant for the interrelations of the dialects, and Chart I a

a con-

densation of the same.

The presence
site'

of a given peculiarity is indicated

by a

cross oppo-

the

name

of

the dialect and beneath a caption which, like 'those


is sufficient
it,

used in the Summaries,

to identify the

phenomenon,

though not always to define


made. The cross

and should always be interpreted

ia the light of the section of the Gramjnar to


is

which reference
circle as

is

sometimes surrounded by a

an

inti-

mation of some reservation, the nature of which will be understood

from the section referred

to.

The

coloring of the dialect

map
ff .

represents the grouping of the

dialects as described above, pp. 1

The mixture

iu Thessaly and

Boeotia

is

indicated, also the Aeolic streak in the Ionic of Chios.

But the various Aeolic and Achaean survivals scattered through

West Greek
note)
is

territory are ignored.

Along the western

coast of

Northern Greece the extent of Corinthian influence


so imperfectly
is

(see p. 10,

known

that the coloring of Acarnania and

the adjacent region

to be taken merely as a crude suggestion of

the speech conditions, and Epirus, from which


late inscriptions,

we have

only a few

has been

left
