Extract

As shown by Goodwin (Moods and Tenses, § 197, 208, and 216) and corroborated by A. C. Moorhouse (C.Q. xl (1946), 1), with the future whether indicative, infinitive, or participle is proved by manuscript authority to be a permissible, though comparatively rare, Attic usage. Moorhouse's case, moreover, is strengthened, rather than weakened, as he supposed, by the usage of Lucian, for, though the construction may be condemned in Solecist, §§ 2 and 8, there are considerably more examples of with the future in Lucian than Asinus
