This chapter demonstrates the role of attributive participles in the ab urbe condita construction, highlighting their implications in classical texts.
The statement has been made by Stahl and others 1 that in the ab urbe condita construction the participle may stand in the attributive, as well as the predicative, position. In support of this, the following passages have been cited: Thuc. 3.53.3; 66.3; Hdt. 7.169; 9.69; Xen. Hell. 6.3.11; Lysias 25.6. In addition I have noted the following, in which attributive participles have been treated as complementary by editors or translators: Thuc. 1.6.1; 3.40.6; 4.87.5; Eur. Hipp. 1336.
