26 Wim Hendriks ἴσοσ ἴσωσ equally, in like manner καλόσ καλῶσ well, beautifully, appropriately ὀρθόσ ὀρθῶσ rightly, really, correctly, of course ὁ αὐτόσ ὡσαύτωσ in like manner, in the same way οὗτοσ οὕτωσ so, as has been said; so, as follows.7 πᾶσ πάντωσ in all ways, at any rate ταχύσ ταχέωσ quickly, in haste, soon From the adiective εὐθύσ—εὐθεῖα—εὐθύ: straight, right, the adverb εὐθέωσ is derived. In view of the form ending —ωσ, εὐθέωσ is primarily an adverbium qualitatis: in a straight manner, in a straight way. See LSJ, subdivision C: “regular Adverb εὐθέωσ.”8 In Greek literature the follow- ing rule concerning its place in the sentence is followed: εὐθέωσ (like the adverb εὐθύσ) always precedes (often immediately) the related word or phrase, the only exception being at the end of a phrase or sentence (that is: before comma, colon, or full-stop). I found the following few examples. Herodotus, Historiae III 73,3: ... μὴ διαλύεσθαι ἐκ τοῦ συλλόγου τοῦδε ἀλλ’ ἢ ἐπὶ τὸν μάγον ἰθέωσ, that we do not quit this council for anything but set straight upon the Magian.9 Xenophon, Cyropaedia IV 5.43: ταῦτα μὲν ἐκήρυττον εὐθύσ, that news they were proclaiming by the shortest way.10 Philo, Legum allegoria III 30.92: περικρατῆσαι τῶν εἰσ αὐτὰσ θεωρημάτων ἀδυνατοῦμεν εὐθύσ, to master (with the mind) the princi- ples in them we are simply unable to do that. 7 The adverb οὕτωσ means so, thus, in that way (referring to what precedes). See Mt 1:1-18a, where the verses 1 (with βιβλοσ γενεσεωσ) and 18a (with η γενεσισ ουτωσ ην, was as had been said) include the genealogy (whereas verse 18b opens the next peri­cope without a con­necting particle). See also Acts 17:11: ἀνακρίνοντεσ τὰσ γραφὰσ εἰ ἔχοι ταῦτα οὕτωσ, examining the scriptures to see whether these things were so (as had been said). – Or οὕτωσ means so, in this way, as follows (pertaining to what follows). See Mt 1,18a in the Textus receptus, where this verse introduces a supposed birth story (while verse 18b with the particle γάρ is connected with 18a). The Nestle-text rightly omits γάρ and prefers γένεσισ over the Byzantine γέννησισ, but fails to restore the layout! 8 LSJ pays little attention to εὐθύ(σ) or εὐθέωσ as adverb of manner. Only some allu- sions: B I 3: εὐθύ = ἁπλῶσ = simply, B II 1 ‘metaphorical’ εὐθύσ = at once, naturally, and B II 3 of manner, directly, simply (here only with a reference to a variant reading in Plato). 9 Likewise Aristophanes, Plutus 864-865 (if not metri causa): ποῦ ποῦ ’σθ’ ὁ μόνοσ ἅπαντασ ἡμᾶσ πλουσίουσ ὑποσχόμενοσ οὗτοσ ποιήσειν ευθέωσ, ‘where, where is the only one who promised he would make all of us wealthy men in a trice?’ 10 For the meaning of εὐθύσ here see Diodorus Siculus, Bibliotheca XVII 29,3: εὐθὺ δὲ τῆσ περὶ τὸν στρατηγὸν ἐνεργείασ διαβοηθείσησ (absolute genitive), news of the general’s activity spread like wildfire (LCL 422), 198-199.
