Both =gat.= and =usf.= ar infinitivs of purpose (S., 114), the prefixes =ga= and =us= being intensiv. 18. =usleiþiþ himins jah aírþa=; two subj. nominativs with a sg. v. (S., 5, n. 1). 19. =saei=; rel. prn. (Gr., 157; S., 60).--=þizô=; dem. prn., not art.

(in the Grk. text τῇ....τῶν).

20. =managizô= (n. compar. uzed as sb.) =izwaraizôs garaíhteins=, _more of your righteousness than of [the righteousness of] the scribes_.--=þau= (conj.), _than_ =...þau= (adv.), _in any case_; =ni þau=, _in no case_.--=qimiþ in þiudangardjai=; the dativ after =qiman in= and similar vs. of 'motion towards' is distinctivly Gothic (S., 55). 21. =qiþan ist=; stands for the Grk. aor. (S., 87, n., c) = imperf. in English.--=maúrþrjais=; the hort. opt. for the second pers. fut. in Grk.--=waírþiþ=; the prs. for the Grk. fut.

23. =jabai nu baírais...gamuneis= (Gr., 200, n. 1; and 196); a conditional sentence, the vs. of the protasis being in the opt., those of the apodosis in the imper. (S., 102, e).--=aibr=; s. 'Vocabulary'.--=þeins=; attributes generally follow their sb. (S., 10, n. 2).--=ƕa=; here indef. (Gr., 162, n. 2; S., 78, n. 2). 24.

It is not impossibl, however, that =kintus= ment not one particular coin (or mezure), but any coin (or mezure) of litl value.

(S., 91, (2)).--=afstassais bôkôs=, _a writing_ (lit. _letters_; cp. the Latin 'littera': 'litterae') _of divorcement_ (lit. '_standing off_'; cp. the G.
