b. in Philosophic writers,τιςis added to the Art. to show that the Art. is used to denote a particular individual who is not specified in the general formula, although he would be in the particular case,ὁ τὶς ἄνθρωπος the individualman (whoever he may be), this or thatman, opp.ἄνθρωπος(man in general),ὁ τὶς ἵππος, ἡ τὶς γραμματική, Arist.

E. Med. 1141

, cf. S. OC 1226 (lyr.), Leg.Gort. 2.2 , X. Smp. 5.2 , Pl. Grg. 456d :τιςmust often be supplied from what goes before, ib. 478c , Prt. 319d .
b. sts. alsoτιςis omitted before a gen. case which must depend upon it, as ἢ [τις] τᾶς ἀσώτου Σισυφιδᾶν γενεᾶς
S. Aj. 189
(lyr.);ἢν γαμῇ ποτ' αὐτὸς ἢ [τις] τῶν ξυγγενῶν
Ar. Nu. 1128
; ἐν τῶν πόλεων
IG 12.56.14
.--Cf.ὅστις, οὔτις, μήτις, ἄλλο τι.
III. Accentuation and position ofτις:
1. accentuation:τιςis normally enclitic, but in certain uses is orthotone, i.e. theoretically oxytone (τίς, τινά, τινές, τινῶν, etc., cf. Choerob. in Theod. 1.373 H.) and barytone when followed by another word (τὶςorτις , τινὰ, τινὲς, τινῶν, etc.). According to Sch. D.T. p.240 H. its orthotone accent isτίς(notτὶς), τίνα, τίνες, etc. The orthotone form is used in codd.:
a. at the beginning of a sentence,τίς ἔνδον . .; isany onewithin? A. Ch. 654 (τὶςcj. Hermann);τί φημι;
= λέγω τι ; am I sayinganything?
S. Tr. 865 , OT 1471 ; <τίς ἦλθε;> ἦλθέ τιςhasanybodycome?Somebodyhas come, Sch. D.T. l.c.;τὶς κάθηται, τὶς περιπατεῖ,so and sois sitting (walking), S.E. M. 8.97 ;τὶς αἰπόλος καλούμενος ΚομάταςSch. Theoc. 7.78 ; τίς ποτε οἰκοδεσπότης . . ἐκοπία
Aesop.
inGloss.iii p.41 ; or after a pause, πῶς γὰρ ἄν, ἔφην ἐγώ, ὦ βέλτιστε, τὶς ἀποκρίναιτο
: without such opposition,τοῦτ' εἰς ἀνίαν τοὔπος ἔρχεται τινίfora certain person, S. Aj. 1138 . Codd. are not consistent; in signf. 11.5a , 10c , 13 they make it enclitic; in signf. 11.5b sts. enclitic, sts. orthotone (v. supr.); sts. enclitic and orthotone in the same sentence, πάντα δὲ τὰ γιγνόμενα ὑπό τέ τινος γίγνεται καὶ ἔκ τινος καὶ τί
Arist. Metaph. 1032a14
, cf. Pl. Chrm. 165c .
2. position:
a. τιςis rarely first word in the sentence, and rarely follows a pause (v. supr. 111.1a , b); it may stand second word, ἔσκε τις ἐνθάδε μάντις ἀνήρ
Od. 9.508
, cf. Il. 8.515 , 23.331 ; but in general its position is not far before or after the word to which it belongs in sense, ἀλλ' ἄγε δή τινα μάντιν ἐρείομεν
1.62
; φυλακὴ δέ τις ἔμπεδος ἔστω
8.521
.
b. in Ion. Prose it sts. stands between its genitive and the Article of that genitive, τῶν τις Περσέων
Hdt. 1.85
; τῶν τις ἱρέων
Id. 2.38
; τῶν τινες Φοινίκων
Id. 8.90
; ἐς τῶν τι ἄλλο στομάτων τοῦ Νείλου
Id. 2.179
; so also in late Prose, Ath. 3.108d , Eust. 1402.18 , 1659.27 , 1676.1 .
c. it stands between the Art. andSubst.in signf. 11.10b .
d. τίς τιis the correct order, notτί τις, IG 12.110.46 , Th. 7.10 , X. An. 4.1.14 (codd. dett.), D. 22.22 , etc.
e. whereas in Att. the orderἐάν τιςis compulsory, in Dor. the usual order isαἴ τίς κα, Leg.Gort. 9.43 , al., Tab.Heracl. 1.105 , al. (but αἴ κά τις
