The abbreviations of the names of the Classical Writers need no explanation. LXX. is put for the Septuagint or other translations of the Old Testament; NT. is put for the New Testament. Prov. refers to the Proverbs selected by Erasmus and others. THE FUNDAMENTAL WORDS OF THE GREEK LANGUAGE, ADAPTED TO THE MEMORY OF THE STUDENT, &c. &c. Words with prefixed are such as occur but seldom, and in such a position that they are illustrated by the context. They need not, therefore, be committed to memory. Words with + prefixed are such as are left unadapted to the memory. This mark is omitted before words marked with a star. Words commencing with a small letter depend for their complete illustration on such as occur in subsequent parts of the work. Thus à-ßλeμǹs and à-ẞpóτη depend on Bλew and βροτός. A': 1.
