Enduring

verbs of, with participle

THE SUPPLEMENTARY PARTICIPLE NOT IN INDIRECT DISCOURSE

With verbs signifying to begin, cease, endure, grow weary of an action.

ἄρχομαι begin (2128), παύω cause to cease, παύομαι, λήγω cease, ἀπολείπω, διαλείπω, ἐπιλείπω leave off, ἐλλείπω support, καρτερῶ endure (do something patiently), κάμνω grow weary, ἀπαγορεύω give up, etc.

ἄρξομαι ἀπὸ τῆς ῑ̓ᾱτρικῆς λέγων I will begin my speech with the healing art P. S. 186b, παύσω τοῦτο γιγνόμενον I will put a stop to this happening P. G. 523c, παῦσαι λέγουσα lit. stop talking E. Hipp. 706, οὐπώποτε διέλειπον ζητῶν I never left off seeking X. Ap. 16, ἀνέχου πάσχων support thy sufferings E. fr. 1090, οὔτε τότ᾽ ἐκαρτέρουν ἀκούων κτλ. neither then did I listen patiently, etc., Aes. 3.118, μὴ κάμῃς φίλον ἄνδρα εὐεργετῶν do not grow weary of doing good to your friend P. G. 470c, ἀπείρηκα . . . τὰ ὅπλα φέρων καὶ ἐν τάξει ἰὼν καὶ φυλακᾱ̀ς φυλάττων καὶ μαχόμενος I am tired of carrying my arms and going in the ranks and mounting guard and fighting X. A. 5.1.2.

a. Verbs signifying to support, endure ordinarily take the present participle; but there are cases of the complexive aorist in reference to acts to which one must submit despite all resistance: so, with ἀνέχομαι, X. C. 6.2.18, D. 41.1; cp. οὐκ ἠνέσχεσθε ἀκούσαντες L. 13.8 (Hdt. 5.89) with οὐκ ἠνείχοντο ἀκούοντες X. H. 6.5.49. The aorist participle seems not to be used with the object of ἀνέχομαι.
