HACIA EL GRIEGO TARDÍO EL CASO DE LAS ANTOLOGÍAS Y LA HAGIOGRAFÍA

Abstract

This articles aim at studying supplementary particles of the τυγχάνω + participle type in the oeuvre of Leontius of Neapolis (7th c.). Its conclusion will be that infective τυγχάνω is used only as a quasi-synonym of εἰμί, either alone or with other particles. In the confective (or aorist) mood, ὠτυχών means “said person”. Finally, the fossilised phrase ὡς ἔτυχεν, having lost its aspectual and temporal shades, can be translated as μετὰ τύχης, “by chance”.
