2 See his third edition (Berlin, 1922), ad loc. In his edition of 1885 (Berlin) Classen says, ‘Doch scheint mir für diese Bedeutung ⋯γένετο angemessener, im Sinn des Plupft’.

3 Wyse, William, The Speeches of Isaeus (Cambridge, 1904), pp. 478 fGoogle Scholar.: “The origin of the idiom is the use of γίγνεσθαι to give the result of arithmetical calculations.’

4 To his list add Dem. 35. 11 (a second instance, identical to the one he cites); Isaeus 3. 38 and 4. 23 (an aorist in a contrary-to-fact clause); Plato, Lysis 209d;IG i3. 61 (= i2. 57), lines 5–9, and 101, lines 56–8 (= i2. 108, lines 47–9); and SIG 3. 546b, lines 20–1, and 953, lines 76–7.

5 Some scholars take the kinship term to mean, ‘first cousin once removed’; cf. Thompson, W. E., De Hagniae Hereditate (Leiden, 1976), pp. 4 ffGoogle Scholar.

6 This is part of an unusual mixed condition; cf. Wyse, op. cit. 695 f.
