The Syntax of the Finite Forms and the nominal Forms fo the Verb in Quintus Curtius'"History of Alexander, Bk. IX"

<p>The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate the syntax of the finite verb and the nominal forms of the verb in Quintus Curtius' History of Alexander, Book IX, and to note the author’s conformity with or departure from classical usage. In using the chronological label, 'classical', I have adopted the following chronological scheme where a chronological label is called for in the text:</p> <p>Early Latin Century B.C. - 2kO B.C.</p> <p>Ante-Classical 240 B.C. (Plautus and Terence, etc.) - 80 B.C.</p> <p>Classical Golden Age - 80 B.C. - 14 A.D.</p> <p> Silver Age - 14 A.D. - l80 A.D.</p> <p>Post-Classical 180 A.D. - 6& Century A.D.</p> <p>The text used is that of Edmund Hedicke in the Loeb Classical Library Series (19^6). Since this study deals only with Book IX, in citations of the text, the book number is omitted. Only the section and line numbers, in their respective order, appear.</p> <p>In classifying the syntax of the verbs and verb forms, I have followed for the most part the norms and vocabulary set down by Gildersleeve-Lodge. When clarity demanded, I made use of Allen and Greenough, Bennett, Bradley's Arnold, Palmer, Woodcock, and Scythe.</p>
