__I.2 when ὅτι introduces a conditional sentence, the Constr. after ὅτι is the same as in independent conditional sentences, εἴ τις ἔροιτο, καθ᾽ ὁποίους νόμους δεῖ πολιτεύεσθαι, δῆλον ὅτι ἀποκρίναισθ᾽ ἄν.. it is manifest that you would answer.., [[ 4th c.BC: Demosthenes Orator 46.12, compare 5th-6th c.BC: Xenophon Historicus “Memorabilia” 1.6.12. ] Refs 5th c.BC+]
__II ὅτι is frequently inserted pleonastic in introducing a quotation (where we use no conjunction and put inverted commas), λόγον τόνδε ἐκφαίνει ὁ Πρωτεύς, λέγων ὅτι ἐγὼ εἰ μὴ περὶ πολλοῦ ἡγεύμην.. [[ 5th c.BC: Herodotus Historicus 2.115 ] Refs 5th c.BC+]; καὶ ἐγὼ εἶπον, ὅ. ἡ αὐτή μοι ἀρχή ἐστι.. [[ 5th-6th c.BC: Plato Philosophus “Protagoras” 318a, compare 356a, 361a, etc.] Refs 5th c.BC+]; even where the quotation consists of one word,[[[prev. work] 330c, “Men.” 74b, 74c. ] Refs]
__II.2 ὅ. is also used pleonastic with the infinitive and accusative [[compare (ὡς 5th c.BC: Bacchylides Lyricus I.I), εἶπον ὅτι πρῶτον ἐμὲ χρῆναι πειραθῆναι κατ᾽ ἐμαυτόν (which is in fact a mixture of two constructions) [prev. author] “Lg.” 892d, compare “Phd.” 63c, 5th-6th c.BC: Xenophon Historicus “Historia Graeca (Hellenica)” 2.2.2, etc.] Refs 5th c.BC+]; but ὅτι has frequently been wrongly inserted by the copyists, as if εἶπεν or λέγουσιν must be followed by it, as in [[ 5th c.BC: Thucydides Historicus 4.37 (om. Papyrus), 5th-6th c.BC: Xenophon Historicus “Institutio Cyri (Cyropaedia)” 5.4.1, etc. ] Refs 5th c.BC+]
__III ὅτι in Attic dialect frequently represents a whole sentence, especially in affirmative answers, οὐκοῦν.. τὸ ἀδικεῖν κάκιον ἂν εἴη τοῦ ἀδικεῖσθαι. Answ. δῆλον δὴ ὅτι (i.e. ὅτι κάκιον ἂν εἴη, or ὅτι ταῦτα οὕτως ἔχει) [[ 5th-6th c.BC: Plato Philosophus “Gorgias” 475c ] Refs 5th c.BC+]; compare οἶδ᾽ ὅτι, ἴσθ᾽ ὅτι, οἶσθ᾽ ὅτι, [[ 5th c.BC: Sophocles Tragicus “Antigone” 276, 758, 5th-6th c.BC: Plato Philosophus “Gorgias” 486a, etc.: hence arose the practice of using δηλονότι (which see) as ] Refs 5th c.BC+] adverb
__III.2 what we make the subject of the Verb which follows ὅτι frequently stands in the preceding clause, Αυκάονας δὲ καὶ αὐτοὶ εἴδομεν, ὅτι.. καρποῦνται (for εἴδομεν, ὅτι Λυκάονες καρποῦνται) [[ 5th-6th c.BC: Xenophon Historicus “Anabasis” 3.2.23, compare 3.2.29, etc. ] Refs 5th c.BC+]
__IV ὅτι sometimes = with regard to the fact that, ὅτι.. οὔ φησι.. ὄνομα εἶναι, ὑποπτεύω αὐτὸν σκώπτειν [[ 5th-6th c.BC: Plato Philosophus “Cratylus” 384c, compare “Prt.” 330e, etc. ] Refs 5th c.BC+]
__V οὐχ ὅ..., ἀλλὰ or ἀλλὰ καὶ.., οὐχ ὅ. ὁ Κρίτων ἐν ἡσυχίᾳ ἦν, ἀλλὰ οἱ φίλοι αὐτοῦ not only [[ 1st-2nd c.AD: Crito Medicus ] Refs 1st c.AD+].., but his friends, [[ 5th-6th c.BC: Xenophon Historicus “Memorabilia” 2.9.8; more fully, οὐ μόνον ὅ. ἄνδρες, ἀλλὰ καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες 5th-6th c.BC: Plato Philosophus “Symposium” 179b: so followed by ἀλλ᾽ οὐδὲ.., ταύτῃ ἀδύνατα ἐξισοῦσθαι οὐχ ὅ. τὰ ἐν τῇ Εὐρώπῃ, ἀλλ᾽ οὐδ᾽ ἐν τῇ Ἀσίᾳ] Refs 5th c.BC+] not only the powers in Europe, but.., [[ 5th c.BC: Thucydides Historicus 2.97: οὐχ ὅ] Refs 5th c.BC+]., not followed by a second clause, means although, οὐχ ὅ. παίζει καί φησι [[ 5th-6th c.BC: Plato Philosophus “Protagoras” 336d, compare “Grg.” 450e, “Tht.” 157b; compare ὅπως 4th-5th c.BC: Aeschylus Tragicus II. 2. ] Refs 5th c.BC+]
__V.2 for ὅτι μή, see at {ὅ τι} 11.
__B as a causal Particle, for that, because, generally after Verbs of feeling, [[ 8th c.BC: Ilias Homerus Epicus “Illiad” 1.56, 14.407, +others; οὐδὲν ἐκπλαγείς, ὅτι.. εἶδες 4th c.AD: Julianus Imperator “Orationes” 1.31a ] Refs 8th c.BC+]: but without such a Verb, ὃν περὶ πάσης τῖεν ὁμηλικίης, ὅτι οἱ φρεσὶν ἄρτια ᾔδη [[ 8th c.BC: Ilias Homerus Epicus “Illiad” 5.326, compare 9.76, +others; μάλιστα δ᾽ αὐτοὺς ἐπεκαλέσαντο ὅτι τειχομαχεῖν ἐδόκουν δυνατοὶ εἶναι 5th c.BC: Thucydides Historicus 1.102, compare 5th-6th c.BC: Andocides Orator 1.75, 4th c.BC: Aeschines Orator 3.231; so ὅτιπερ 5th c.BC: Thucydides Historicus 4.14. ] Refs 8th c.BC+]
__B.2 seeing that, in giving the reason for saying what is said, γλαυκὴ δέ σε τίκτε θάλασσα.. ὅτι τοι νόος ἐστὶν ἀπηνής as is proved by the fact that.., [[ 8th c.BC: Ilias Homerus Epicus “Illiad” 16.35, compare 21.488, 8th c.BC: Odyssea Homerus Epicus “Odyssey” 22.36. [The last syllable is never elided in _Attic dialect_, probably to avoid confusion with ὅτε: in 8th c.BC: Homerus Epicus ὅτ᾽ ] Refs 8th c.BC+] (ὅ τ᾽) probably always represents ὅτε (ὅ τε): there are no examples of ὅττ᾽: hiatus after ὅτι is permitted in Comedy texts, [[ 5th-6th c.BC: Aristophanes Comicus “Lysistrata” 611, “Ach.” 516.] ] Refs 5th c.BC+]
