Formation and Use of the Demonstrative Pronouns
157. These pronouns are declined, in the main, like adjectives of the
vowel declension (126 ff.); ὅδε is declined like the article (758), with the
enclitic suffix δε added.
158. When a demonstrative pronoun agrees with a noun, it
takes the article, and stands either before or after both article
and noun, not between them.
159. ἐκεῖνος, that (yonder), is used of something remote;
ὅδε, this (here), of something near or present; οὗτος is used in referring to something which has already been mentioned; ὅδε, in referring to something which is about
to be mentioned.
Τhus: οὗτος ὁ στρατηγὸς or ὁ στρατηγὸς οὗτος ἀγαθὸς ἦν, this general
(one already mentioned) was brave; ἔλεξε τάδε, he said this, i.e. he spoke as
follows; ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ κώμῃ θύσομεν, we will offer sacrifice in that village
(yonder).
160. In all its cases αὐτός may mean self; when preceded by
the article it means same; in its oblique cases it may mean
him, her, it, them.
Thus: αὐτὸς ὁ στρατηγὸς ἔλεξε ταῦτα, the general himself said this, but
ὁ αὐτὸς στρατηγὸς ἔλεξε ταῦτα, the same general said this; θύσω αὐτός,
I myself will offer sacrifice; οἱ στρατιῶται αὐτοὺς ἔπαιον, the soldiers struck
them.

NOTES.—1 τὰ αὐτὰ ταῦτα, these same (plans), a cognate accusative (833).

οὕτως οὖν ἐπὶ Μίλητον τὴν στρατιὰν ἤθροιζεν ὁ Κῦρος.
πρὸς δὲ τὸν ἀδελφὸν ἀγγέλους ἔπεμψε καὶ ἔλεξε τάδε·
“ἐπιθῡμῶ, ὦ Ἀρταξέρξη, καὶ (also) τῆς Ἰωνίᾱς σατραπεύειν,
Τισσαφέρνην δ᾿ ἐκ τῆς χώρᾱς ἐκβάλλειν.” καὶ ἡ
μήτηρ συμπράττει αὐτῷ ταῦτα. ὥστε οὐχ ὑποπτεύει
ὁ Ἀρταξέρξης τὴν τοῦ Κύρου ἐπιβουλήν· ἀπέπεμπε γὰρ
αὐτῷ τοὺς δασμοὺς ἐκεῖνος.
NOTES.—3. ἐπιθῡμῶ: by contraction for ἐπιθῡμέω, I desire.— Ἰωνίᾱς:
the genitive follows verbs signifying to rule (847).—5. συμ-πράττει: does
this with him, i. e. cooperates with him in this (865).
