§189.
英語原文
The aorist infinitive in inderect discourse is a past tense in itself, and is therefore secondary. E.g.
Φησὶ γνῶναι τί τοῦτο εἴη, he says that he learned what this was. Ἔφη γνῶμαι ὁμολογῆσαί με τοῦ κλήρου τῷ παιδὶ τὸ ἡμικλήριον μεταδώσειν εἰ νικήσαιμι τοὺς ἔχοντας αὐτόν (he says I promised, μεταδώσω ἐὰν νικήσω). Isae. xi. 24. Θαλῆν Θρᾶττά τις θεραπαινὶς ἀποσκῶψαι λέγεται, ὡς τὰ μὲν ἐν οὐρανῷ προθυμοῖτο εἰδέναι, τὰ δ᾿ ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ λανθάνοι αὐτόν. Plat. Theaet. 174 A. Ἆρά σοι δοκῶ οὐ μαντικῶς ἃ νῦν δὴ ἔλεγον εἰπεῖν, ὅτι Ἀγάθων θαυμαστῶς ἐροῖ ἐγὼ δἀπορήσοιμι ; Id. Symp. 198 A. In all these cases the optative depends on the aorist infinitive as a past tense.
