unam Aegyptus in hoc spem habet suam,

Sen. Q. N. 4, 2, 2.—For suus ipsius, etc., v. D. 1. b. supra.—

With demonstr., rel., or indef. pronn. and adjj., of his, hers, etc.:

postulat ut ad hanc suam praedam adjutores vos profiteamini,

to this booty of his, Cic. Rosc. Am. 2, 6:

Sestius cum illo exercitu suo,

id. Sest. 5, 12:

qua gravitate sua,

id. ib. 61, 129:

suam rem publicam illam defenderunt,

that republic of theirs, id. ib. 67, 141:

in istum civem suum,

against this citizen of theirs, id. Balb. 18, 41:

cum illo suo pari,

id. Pis. 8, 18:

te nulla sua calamitate civitas satiare potest?

id. Phil. 8, 6, 19:

dubitatis igitur, quin vos M. Laterensis ad suam spem aliquam delegerit,

for some hope of his, id. Planc. 16, 39:

non tam sua ulla spe quam militum impetu tractus,

by any hope of his, Liv. 25, 21, 5:

nullo suo merito,

from no fault of theirs, id. 26, 29, 4:

ipse arcano cum paucis familiaribus suis colloquitur,

with a few of his friends, Caes. B. C. 1, 19.—

With descriptive adjj.

Standing before the adj. and noun (so most freq.):

suorum improbissimorum sermonum domicilium,

Cic. Pis. 31, 76:

causam sui dementissimi consilii,

id. Phil. 2, 22, 53:

suam insatiabilem crudelitatem,

id. ib. 11, 3, 8:

suis amplissimis fortunis,

id. ib. 13, 8, 16:

suum pristinum morem,

id. Pis. 12, 27:

suis lenissimis postulatis,

Caes. B. C. 1, 5: simili ratione Pompeius in suis veteribus castris consedit (suis emphatic; cf. b, infra), id. ib. 3, 76.—

Between the adj. and noun (less emphatic):

pro eximiis suis beneficiis,

Cic. Prov. Cons. 4, 7:

propter summam suam humanitatem,

id. Fam. 15, 14, 1:

ex praeteritis suis officiis,

Caes. B. C. 3, 60:

Caesar in veteribus suis castris consedit,

id. ib. 3, 76.—

After adj. and noun:

veterem amicum suum excepit,

Cic. Rab. Post. 16, 43:

in illo ardenti tribunatu suo,

id. Sest. 54, 116.—

Objectively for the pers. pron. (rare):

neque cuiquam mortalium injuriae suae parvae videntur ( = sibi illatae),

Sall. C. 51, 11; so,

neglectam ab Scipione et nimis leviter latam suam injuriam ratus,

Liv. 29, 9, 9:

ipsae enim leges te a cognitione sua judicio publico reppulerunt ( = a se cognoscendo),

Cic. Balb. 14, 32:

suam invidiam tali morte quaesitam ( = quaesitum esse ab eo ut homines se inviderent),

Tac. A. 3, 16; so,

nulla sua invidia,

Cic. Mil. 15, 40.—

Abl. fem. sua, with refert or interest, for gen. of the pers. pron.: neminem esse qui quomodo se habeat nihil sua censeat interesse, Cic. Fin. 5, 10, 30:

si scit sua nihil interesse utrum anima per os, an per jugulum exeat,

Sen. Ep. 76, 33; v. intersum, III.—

Strengthened by the suffix - pte or -met.

By - pte (not used with ipse) affixed to the forms sua, suo, and (ante-class.) suum:

quom illa osculata esset suumpte amicum,

Plaut. Mil. 2, 4, 38:

ut terrena suopte nutu et suo pondere in terram ferantur,

Cic. Tusc. 1, 17, 40:

ferri suopte pondere,

id. N. D. 1, 25, 69:

suapte natura,

id. Fat. 18, 42:

suapte vi et natura,

id. ib. 19, 43; id. Fin. 1, 16, 54; 5, 22, 61:

suopte ingenio,

Liv. 25, 18; so id. 1, 25, 1; 1, 18, 4:

suapte manu,

Cic. Or. 3, 3, 10:

locus suapte natura infestus,

Liv. 44, 6, 9; so,

suapte natura,

id. 4, 22, 4:

flumina suapte natura vasta,

Sen. Q. N. 3, 27, 8; so id. Ben. 4, 17, 2:

sponte suapte,

Varr. L. L. 6, 7, § 70.—

With - met, almost always followed by ipse (in all forms of suus except suus, suum, suae, and suorum):

suomet ipsi more,

Sall. J. 31, 6:

suomet ipsi instrumento,

Liv. 22, 14, 13:

suomet ipsi metu,

Tac. H. 3, 16 fin.:

suamet ipsum pecunia,

Sall. J. 8, 2:

suamet ipsae fraude,

Liv. 8, 18, 9:

intra suamet ipsum moenia,

id. 6, 36, 4:

suismet ipsi praesidiis,

id. 8, 25, 6:

suismet ipsis corporibus,

id. 2, 19, 5:

suosmet ipsi cives,

id. 2, 9, 5:

suasmet ipse spes,

Tac. A. 3, 66 fin. —Without ipse:

populum suimet sanguinis mercede,

Sall. H. Fragm. 1, 41, 25 Dietsch:

magna pars suismet aut proxumorum telis obtruncabantur,

id. ib. 2, 52 ib.

ὁ, [full] ἡ, τό, is, when thus written,

A demonstr. Pronoun.

B in [dialect] Att., definite or prepositive Article.

C in [dialect] Ep., the so-called postpositive Article, = relative Pronoun, ὅς, ἥ, ὅ.—The nom. masc. and fem. sg. and pl., ὁ, ἡ, οἱ, αἱ, have no accent in codd. and most printed books, exc. when used as the relative ; but ὁ, ἡ, οἱ, αἱ differ only in writing from ὃ, ἣ, οἳ, αἳ ; the nom. forms of the article are said by Hdn.Gr.1.474 to be oxytone, and by A.D.Pron.8.7 not to be enclitic. The forms τῶν, τοῖς, ταῖς were barytone (i. e. τὼν, τοὶς, ταὶς ) in [dialect] Aeol. acc. to Aristarch. ap. A.D.Synt.51.26. For οἱ, αἱ some dialects (not Cypr., cf. Inscr.Cypr.135.30H., nor Cret., cf.Leg.Gort. 5.28, nor Lesbian, cf. Alc.81, Sapph.Supp.5.1 ) and Hom. have τοί, ταί (though οἱ, αἱ are also found in Hom.): other Homeric forms are gen. sg. τοῖο, gen. and dat. dual

τοῖιν Od.18.34

, al.: gen. pl. fem. τάων [pron. full] [ᾱ], dat. τοῖσι, τῇς and τῇσι, never ταῖσι or ταῖς in Hom.— In [dialect] Dor. and all other dialects exc. [dialect] Att. and [dialect] Ion. the fem. forms preserve the old [pron. full] ᾱ instead of changing it to η, hence [dialect] Dor. etc. ἁ, τάν, τᾶς ; the gen. pl. τάων contracts in many dialects to τᾶν ; the gen. sg. is in many places τῶ, acc. pl. τώς, but Cret., etc., τόνς (Leg.Gort.7.7, al.) or τός (ib.3.50, al.) ; in Lesbian [dialect] Aeol. the acc. pl. forms are τοὶς, ταὶς, IG12(2).645 A13, B62 ; dat. pl. τοῖς, ταῖς (or τοὶς, ταὶς, v. supr.), ib.645 A8, ib.1.6 ; ταῖσι as demonstr., Sapph. 16. The [dialect] Att. Poets also used the [dialect] Ion. and [dialect] Ep. forms τοῖσι, ταῖσι ; and in Trag. we find τοὶ μέν.., τοὶ δέ.., for οἱ μέν.., οἱ δέ.., not only in lyr., as A.Pers. 584, Th. 295, 298 ;

οἱ μέν.. τοὶ δ' S.Aj. 1404

(anap.) ; but even in a trimeter, A.Pers. 424. In [dialect] Att. the dual has usu. only one gender, τὼ θεώ (for τὰ θεά) And.1.113 sq. ; τὼ πόλεε Foed. ap. Th.5.23 ;
