Concord.—An adjective agrees with its substantive in gender, number, and case. This holds true also of the article, adjective pronouns, and participles: thus, A. Attributive: ὁ δίκαιος ἀνήρ the just man, τοῦ δικαίου ἀνδρός, τὼ δικαίω ἄνδρε, οἱ δίκαιοι ἄνδρες, etc., οὗτος ὁ ἀνήρ this man, τούτου τοῦ ἀνδρός, etc., ἡ φιλοῦσα θυγάτηρ the loving daughter. B. Predicate: καλὸς ὁ ἀγών the prize is glorious, ταῦτ᾽ ἐστὶν ἀληθῆ these things are true, αἱ ἄρισται δοκοῦσαι εἶναι φύσεις the natures which seem to be best X. M. 4.1.3.

On the agreement of demonstrative pronouns used adjectively with a predicate substantive, see 1239. For relative pronouns, see 2501.

A predicate substantive agrees with its subject in case: Μιλτιάδης ἦν στρατηγός Miltiades was a general.
