I, 2, 8—9. A possible source is the anonymous and incomplete Hymn to Apollo quoted by Porphyry and Eusebius ed. His verse was inscribed over doorways everywhere, but it proved to be ineffective against the Plague.

If the latter was widely disseminated, as Lucian says, it would have been known to the author of the amulet, who could adapt it for his own purpose with the help of other oracular 19 Lucian, Alexander The seven vowels are typical of amulets, for example GMA 9 with commentary.

He also uses the phrase in Hymn 6, 5. Five consultations of this oracle have been linked with the Plague, and three of them entail a statue of Apollo as an archer. It often occurs in the Greek Magical Papyri. This hexameter, unlike the others which precede it, is not a prayer but a statement; it therefore seems to summarise an oracular response.

Other less frequent future-equivalents are also noted there. Browning is the most authoritative voice on the subject.

But they all focus on their own area of interest; they do not connect with one another nor study the phenomenon across time. He goes on p. The unnamed source from which these data are derived, E.

Leipzig, , —6. See nos. The lengthy discussion in A. Lee In the lexica there is a certain amount of material, very partial, but useful as far as it goes. The examples are all Classical, and only half seem to me to be right, but even so, this is a beginning. It must be said at once that the collection is not exhaustive.

While most of the papyrological and epigraphic evidence has been checked via PHI 7 , I have not done the full examination of Greek literature that would be possible—though forbidding—by means of the TLG and would be likely to yield further material.

But what I have goes some way towards answering the question. My list of examples is presented below, in reverse chronological order. A name in square brackets after a reference indicates the scholar who proposed this example see Appendix I for key to references ; if there is no name, it is my own proposal. Needless to say, all the items in the list have been thoroughly vetted; I have rejected any suggestions that are open to 12 LSJ, s.

On the same occasion Andreas Willi made the somewhat similar point that the clearest examples will be those where the verb is in the third person, and not in an if-clause as no.

VI, s. The list is therefore not a list of all the proposals but only of those that have a good chance of being what we are looking for.

What are we looking for? This needs to be clear at the outset. It is a severe test in this case, because it is in the nature of the phenomenon that there is gradual shading from one meaning into another, and it is hard to know in a particular instance whether the meaning really has shifted from the lexical area into the grammatical. Let us take some samples from the list to illustrate these points. In the case of no. The same can be said of no.

The writer is explaining his plans and simply states what he will do to make up the deWcit if he can get some help with the rest. It is not, then, an expression of a wish but a description of future action.

If accepted, this would be contemporary with no. Either is possible. Two general observations may be made at this point. This is signiWcant in the light of what came later. A selection of examples is given below. Lee 4. We have a large number of examples, over seventy, spread across a time span of more than years.

How do we assess the signiWcance of this evidence? What does it mean? On that basis it might already have been the front-runner well before the end of Koine Greek. But that is a task for the future. Hopper and Traugott, Grammaticalization, 97 on the persistence of alternative future markers in English since the time of Beowulf.

My examples have been collected independently. John Moschos 19 M Oh human nature! See also M Apophthegmata Patrum M Arsenios He took it and was going to tear it up.

I shall not consider the accounts, nor the contracts for repairing canals: the former hardly contain any material for the study of syntax, the latter are written by professional scribes according to Wxed formulae and therefore too far away from the spoken word.

I have compared the language of the family letters, most of which were commented upon in Witkowski, Epistulae nos.

Some of these are perfect examples of carefully worded oYcialese, whereas others come from lower-class Greeks and from Egyptian stonecutters and present a rather diVerent kind of Greek.
