page 188 note 1 This is the explanation of Professor Hale's instances, where the ‘identification’ of two ‘acts’ is asserted. The formula is correct in argument, where the point is ‘A implies B.’ Greek says ‘a making (by you) of statement A implies a corresponding making by you of statement B.’ Further, the use of in introducing quotations is often quite correct. In Aesch. I. 128 ὅταν generalises (‘this statement by Euripides implies …’). The instances in Plato Ion. 538B, c, are like Phil. 451 (‘when we have Homer saying …’). In Rep. 383A, though ὅταν can hardly be said to generalise, the future helps. This example, however, and Rep. 339E show that ὅταν is losing its force.
