Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes on Alexander Pallis' Romaic Version of the New Testament Canticles
Oevd. Jannaris, Historical Greek Grammar, Appendix N. In Ancient Greek, prospective action was denoted, not only by the future indicative, but also by the subjunctive, the optative, and the present indicative. The subjunctive, especially with I'm, encroached more and more in Hellenistic and late Greek upon the provinces of the Optative, the infinitive and the third person Of the imperative, and finally usurped the place of the future indicative as the expression of prospective action.
The following substitutes for the future indicative are found at various times.
