I. εἰ CoNDITIONAL (on the difference between it and ἐάν, see ἐάν, I. 1 b.) is connected, according to the variety of conditions, with various tenses and moods; viz. ἘΣ with the Indicative of all tenses, when anything is simply and generally assumed to be, or to be done, or to have been done, or to be about to be, (W. § 41 b., 2; ef. 42, 2; [Β. 220(190)]). a. withthe Ind. Present; a. foll. in the apodosis by the ind. pres.: Mt. xix. 10 (εἰ οὕτως ἐστὶν ἡ αἰτία... οὐ συμφέρει γαμῆσαι) ; xi. 14; Ro. vii. 16, 20; viii. 25; xiv.15; 1 Co.ix.17; Gal. ii. 18; v.18; Heb. xii. 8; Jas. ii. 8 sq., etc. B. foll. by an Imperative in the apodosis, — either the pres., as [Mt. xix. 17 L Tr txt.

Three passages falling under this head have a doubtful or disputed text: εἰ ἔχετε (T Tr WH, for the RG Letyere) .. . ἐλέγετε ἄν etc. Lk. xvii. 65 ef... μνημοvevovow (T Tr, for R GL WH ἐμνημόνευον) . . . εἶχον ἄν, Heb. xi. 15 (where by the pres. tense the writer refers to the language of the Jewish Fathers as at present recorded in the sacred Seriptures; cf. τοιαῦτα λέγοντες vs. 14); εἰ τέκνα τοῦ ᾽Αβρ. ἐστε (G LT Tr WH, for R ἦτε) . . ἐποιεῖτε ({ WH txt. mou.) R Ladd ἄν), Jn. viii. 39; cf. Btim. in Stud. u. Krit. for 1858 p. 474 sqq. ΓΝ, T. Gram. § 139, 26; but cf. Mey. on [.Κ.]. 6.1. But 2 Οο. χὶ. 4 εἰ... κηρύσσει... ἀνείχεσθε GT Tr WH mrg. (ἀνέχεσθε 1, WH txt.) must not be referred to this head; here Paul in the protasis supposes something which actually occurred, in the apodosis censures a thing which actually occurred viz. the readiness with which his readers gave ear continually (this is indicated by the impf.) to false teachers. On the difficulty of the passage οἵ. Holsten in the Zeitschr. f. wissensch.

Perfect: Jn.xi.12; Actsxvi.15; Ro. vi. 5; xi. 6 (where after εἰ supply λεῖμμα γέγονεν fr. what precedes), 2 Co. ii. 5; v.16; vii.14. d. with the Ind. A orist,—foll. by the Pres. in the apodosis, Lk. xix. 8; Ro. iv. 2; xv. 27; foll. by a question in the apodosis, Lk. xvi. 11, 12; Jn. xviii. 23; 1Co.iv. 7; ix.11; foll. by the Aor. in the apodosis, Rey. xx. 15; by the Impv. in the apodosis, Jn. xviii. 23 ; xx. 15; Ro. xi. 17 sq.; 1 Tim. v. 9, 10; Philem. 18; by the Fut. in the apodosis, Jn. xiii. 32; xv. 20; Heb. xii. 25 (where supply οὐκ ἐκφευξόμεθα in the apodosis). 2. Not infrequently, when a conclusion is drawn from something that is quite certain, εἰ with the Indic. is used argumentatively so as to be equiv. in sense to ἐπεί, (cf. the use of Germ. wenn) [cf. W. 448 (418) ]: Mt. xii. 28; Lk. xxiii. 31; Jn. vii.4; Ro. v.17; vi. 5; vili.31; xi. 6, 12; Col. ii. 20; iii. 1, ete. 3. When it is said what would have been, or what would be now or in the future, if something else were or had been, εἰ is used with the Impf., Plpf., and Aor. ind.; in the apodosis it is followed in direct disc. by ἄν with the impf. or the plpf. or the aor. ; sometimes ay is omitted, (on the causes of the omission, see B. § 139, 27) ; sometimes the apodosis is made a question, [cf. W. 304 (285) sq.]. a. εἰ with the Impf., foll. in the apodosis by ἄν with the impf.: Mt. xxiii. 30; Lk. Vii. 39 (εἰ οὗτος ἦν προφήτης, ἐγίνωσκεν ἄν if thisman were a prophet, he would know); Jn. v. 46; viii. 42; ix. 41; xv. 19; 1 Co. xi. 31; Gal. i. 10; Heb. viii. 4, 7 (if... were etc. there would not be sought ete. viz. in the O. T. passage quoted vs. 8); by a question in the apodosis: 1 Co. xii. 19; Heb. vii. 11; by ἄν with the aor., where the Latin uses the plupf. subjune.: Jn. xi. 32 (εἰ ἧς ὧδε if thou hadst been here, οὐκ ἂν ἀπέθανέ μου ὁ ἀδελφός my brother would not have died [when he did (cf. below) ; B. § 139, 25 regards the impf. in prot. as expressing duration]); Jn. iv. 10; xviii. 30 (εἰ μὴ ἦν οὗτος κακοποιός, οὐκ ἄν σοι παρεδώκαμεν αὐτόν, we would not have delivered him to thee); Acts xviii. 14; by ἄν with the plupf.: Jn. xi. 21 (εἰ ἧς ὧδε... οὐκ ἂν ἐτεθνήκει. would not have died {and be now dead; ef. W. 304 (285) and see above; but Ι, Τ Tr txt. WH read the aor. here also]}); 1 Jn. ii. 19. b. εἰ with the Plpf., foll. in the apodosis by ἄν with the plpf. or the aor., in the sense of the Latin plpf. subj. : Mt. xii. 7 (εἰ ἐγνώκειτε if ye had understood i.e. if ye knew, οὐκ ἂν κατεδικάσατε τοὺς ἀναιτίους ye would not have condemned the guiltless) ; Mt. xxiv. 43 and Lk. xii. 39, (εἰ #de if he had perceived i. e. if he knew, ἐγρηγόρησεν ἄν he would have watched, se. before the thief had approached [Tr txt. WH om. ἄν in Lk. 1. ¢.]) ; Jn. iv. 10; viii. 19; xiv. 7[RGL]. ο. with the Aor. in the same sense as the Lat. plpf. subjune. : εἰ ἐδόθη νόμος . . . ὄντως ἂν ἐκ νόμου ἦν ἡ δικαιοσύνη if a law had been given, righteousness would in truth come from the law, Gal. iii. 21; εἰ αὐτοὺς ᾿Ιησοῦς κατέπαυσεν if Joshua had given them rest, οὐκ ἂν περὶ ἄλλης ἐλάλει he would not be speaking, sc. in the passage quoted, Heb. iv. 8; apodosis without ἄν, Jn. xv. 22, see av I. 3 p. 33 sq. 4. As in classic Greek, εἰ with the Ind. is often joined to verbs expressing wonder, surprise, or other strong emotion (where ὅτι might have been expected), when the thing spoken of is either not quite certain, or, although certain, yet in accordance with the well-known Greek urbanity is repre-

The verb is not infrequent with reference to crops that “fall to be included”’ in the produce of a particular year, eg. BGU II. 5915" (A.p. 56-7) βουλόμεθα μισθώσασθαι τοὺς ἐκπεπτωκότας εἰς τὸ τρίτον ἔτος Νέρωνος. . . φοινεικίνους καρπούς, P Fay ο115 (A.p. 99) ἐϊλαϊκοὺς καρποὺς ἐκπεππτωκότας (/. ἐκπεπτωκ --Ἰ εἰς τὸ ἐνεστὸ(ς) τρίτον ἔτος.

For the compd. ὑπερεκπίπτω, see P Thead ro!” (A.D. 307) ὑπὲρ τ]οῦ ὑπερεκπίπτ[οντ]ο[ς] χρόνου, ‘“* pour le temps supplementaire’’ (Ed.).

εἴγε (eige) — if indeed/otherwise. Included with: γε, Doric dialect and Boeotian dialect γα, enclitic Particle, giving emphasis to the word or words which it follows.

I. with single words, at least, at any rate, but often only to be rendered by italics in writing, or emphasis in pronunciation: τὸ γὰρ.. σιδήρου γε κράτος ἐστίν such is the power of iron, [Refs 8th c.BC+]; εἴ που πτωχῶν γε θεοὶ.. εἰσίν if the poor have any gods to care for them,[Refs]; ὅ γ᾽ ἐνθάδε λεώς at any rate the people here, [Refs 5th c.BC+] not even two, [Refs 8th c.BC+]; οὔκουν φθόγγος γε not the least sound, [Refs 5th c.BC+]

I.2. with Pronouns: with pronoun of 1st pers. [Refs 8th c.BC+]; τουτογί, ταυταγί, etc., [Refs 8th c.BC+]; ὅσον γε χρῄζεις even as much as..,[Refs 5th c.BC+]: rarely with interrogative Pronouns, τίνα γε.. εἶπας ;[Refs 5th c.BC+]; ποίου γε τούτου πλήν γ᾽ Ὀδυσσέως ἐρεῖς ; [Refs 5th c.BC+]

I.3. after Conjunctions, to emphasize the modification or condition introduced by the subjoined clause, πρίν γε, before at least, sometimes repeated, οὐ μὲν.. ὀΐω πρίν γ᾽ ἀποπαύσεσθαι, πρίν γε.. αἵματος ἆσαι Ἀρῆα [Refs 8th c.BC+]; πρὶν ἄν γε or πρίν γ᾽ ἄν, [Refs 5th c.BC+]; εἴ γε, ἐάν γε, if that is to say, if really, [Refs 5th c.BC+]; also simply to lay stress on the condition, κἄν γε μὴ λέγω and if I do not.., [Refs 5th c.BC+]; εἴπερ γε if at any rate, [Refs 5th c.BC+], etc.; ὥστε γε (variant{ὥς γε}), with infinitive, so far at least as to.., [Refs 5th c.BC+]; ὥς γε or ὥσπερ γε as at least, [Refs 5th c.BC+]:—γε may follow τε, when τε is closely attached to the preceding word, ὡς οἷόν τέ γε μάλιστα [Refs 5th c.BC+]

I.4. after other Particles, καὶ μὴν.. γε, οὐ μὴν.. γε, with words intervening, [Refs 5th c.BC+]; after ἄν in apodosi, when preceded by οὐ or καί, [Refs]; ἄταρ.. γε but yet, [Refs 5th c.BC+]; καίτοι γε, see at {καί το; ἀλλά γε} (without intervening words) is falsa lectio in [Refs 5th c.BC+]; ἀλλά γε δή uncertain in [Refs 1st c.AD+]

I.5. when preceding other Particles, γε commonly refers to the preceding word, while the Particle retains its own force: but sometimes modifies the sense of the following Particle, γε μήν nevertheless, πάντως γε μήν [Refs 5th c.BC+]; Epic dialect and Ionic dialect γε μέν [Refs 8th c.BC+] frequently strengthens an assertion, [Refs 5th c.BC+]; γέ τοι, implying that the assertion is the least that one can say, [Refs 5th c.BC+]; γέ που at all events, any how, [Refs 5th c.BC+]; for γε οὖν, see at {γοῦν}.

II.2. in dialogue, in answers where something is added to the statement of the previous speaker, as ἔπεμψέ τίς σοι.. κρέα; Answ. καλῶς γε ποιῶν yes and quite right too, [Refs 5th c.BC+]; κενὸν τόδ᾽ ἄγγος, ἢ στέγει τι; Answ. σά γ᾽ ἔνδυτα.. yes indeed, your clothes, [Refs 5th c.BC+]; οὕτω γὰρ ἂν μάλιστα δηχθείη πόσις. Answ. σὺ δ᾽ ἂν γένοιο γ᾽ ἀθλιωτάτη γυνή yes truly, and you.., [Refs 5th c.BC+]; πάνυ γε yes certainly, [Refs 5th c.BC+]; οὕτω γέ πως yes somehowso, [Refs]; sometimes preceded by καί, καὶ οὐδέν γ᾽ ἄτοπον yes and no wonder, [Refs]; sometimes ironically, εὖ γε κηδεύεις πόλιν [Refs 5th c.BC+]

II.3. to heighten a contrast or opposition,

II.3. a after conditional clauses, εἰ μὲν δὴ σύ γ᾽.., τῷ κε Ποσειδάων γε.. if you do so, then at all events Poseidon will.., [Refs 8th c.BC+] {γέα}; ἐπεὶ πρὸς τοῦτο σιωπᾶν ἥδιόν σοι.. τόδε γε εἰπέ at any rate tell me this, [Refs 5th c.BC+]

II.3. b in disjunctive sentences to emphasize an alternative, ἤτοι κεῖνόν γε.. δεῖ ἀπόλλυσθαι ἢ σέ.. [Refs 8th c.BC+]: also in the second clause, εἰπέ μοι, ἠὲ ἑκὼν ὑποδάμνασαι ἤ σέ γε λαοὶ ἐχθαίρουσι [Refs 8th c.BC+]

II.4. in exclamations, etc., ὥς γε μή ποτ᾽ ὤφελον λαβεῖν uncertain in [Refs 5th c.BC+]; in oaths, οὔτοι μὰ τὴν Δήμητρά γ᾽ variant in [Refs 5th c.BC+]; merely in strong assertions, τίς ἂν φιλέοντι μάχοιτ; ἄφρων δὴ κεῖνός γέ.. [Refs 8th c.BC+]

II.5. implying concession, εἶμί γε well then I will go (in apodosi), [Refs 5th c.BC+]

III. γε frequently repeated in protasis and apodosis, as πρίν γε.., πρίν γε, see[Refs 5th c.BC+]; even in the same clause, οὐδέν γ᾽ ἄλλο πλήν γε καρκίνους [Refs 5th c.BC+]

IV. POSITION: γε normally follows the word which it limits; but is frequently placed immediately after the Article, as ὅ γε πόλεμος [Refs 5th c.BC+]; or the preposition, κατά γε τὸν σὸν λόγον [Refs 5th c.BC+]; τὸ δέ γε[Refs]; frequently in retorts, ἁμές ποκ᾽ ἦμες ἄλκιμοι νεανίαι. Answ. ἁμὲς δέ γ᾽ εἰμές [Refs]; οὐκ οἶδ᾽ ὅτι λέγεις. Answ. ἡ γραῦς δέ γε οἶδ᾽, ὡς ἐγῷμαι [Refs 4th c.BC+]
