20ἀστείος ἀ στείου ἀστεία20 are paroxytone, because the genitive of the masculine ends in ou. Note that 20ἡ γενναῖα20 and 20ἡ σπουδαῖα20 and 20τὰ γενναῖα20 are properispomenon. 5.35bis Feminines in is having the accent on the antepenult and a long penult are properispomenon; 20μῆνις, ῥῆ σις, καῦσις,20 and the accusative 20τὴν μῆνιν, τὴν ῥῆσιν, τὴν καῦσιν·20 for the rule says: every accusative ending in n wants to have the same accent and length as its own nominative, and the vocatives; 20ὦ μῆνις, ὦ ῥῆσις·20 and the rule: those ending in is have the same nominative and vocative. Those in is with a doubtful vowel in the penult are paroxytone; 20τάσις, βάσις,20 except for 20ῥῦσις, λῦσις, πρᾶξις20 and 20πρᾶ σις·20 this usage makes paroxytone. I have also found 20μῦσις20 as perispomenon among some. 5.36 20Ἡ Χίος, ἡ Κίος, ἡ Τίος20 are paroxytone. 20Χῖος20 as a man is properispomenon. 5.37 Feminines in ινη lengthen the ι; 20κλίνη, ὑσμίνη, ἡρωίνη·20 and their nominative plurals are properispomenon; 20ὑσμῖναι, κλῖ ναι, ἡρωῖναι,20 and the like. 20δωτίνη·20 the proper names 20Στρατο νίκη, Βερονίκη·20 at least their feminine nominatives, being short in the ultima, are perispomenon; 20αἱ ὑσμῖναι, αἱ κλῖ ναι, αἱ ἡρωῖναι.20 The genitives in ινος 20ἀκτῖνος, Σαλαμῖνος20 were written before among the masculines, that is, among 20δελφῖνος, ἑρμῖνος·20 and these are perispomenon. 5.38 Oxytone nouns in is declined with δος, being disyllabic and having η in the penult are long in the ultima and are properispomenon in the genitive, such as 20κηλίς κηλῖδος, ψηφίς ψηφῖδος·20 but as many disyllables as do not have η in the penult in the genitive, are paroxytone; 20ῥανίς ῥανίδος, βο λίς βολίδος·20 and of those over two syllables, as many as are shortened from the dative; 20Αἰθίοπι Αἰθιοπίς,20 and 20Πέλοπι Πελο-πίς.20 The grammarians of our time for the most part only lengthen those having a naturally long penult and make their genitives properispomenon; 20αἰγῖδος, σφραγῖδος, καταιγῖδος·20 we said naturally long because of 20ἀτμίδος, βαλ-βίδος.20 5.39 Disyllables in υνη have a long υ, such as 20φρύνη, αἱ φρῦναι·20 therefore it is properispomenon, and the like; of those over two syllables, as many as have σ before the υ, have it long; 20βριθοσῦναι20 therefore and 20γηθοσῦναι,20 and the like are properispomenon; but if they do not have σ before the υ, they have it shortened; 20αἱ κορύναι, αἱ τορύναι, αἱ αἰσχύναι,20 and the like are paroxytone. 5.40 Of the oxytones in υς, those declined with δος have a short υ also in the genitive; for this reason in 20χλαμύδος20 the μυ is short and it is paroxytone. 20ἰσχύος, Ἐριν-νύος, πληθύος20 are paroxytone, and the rule: those in υς having the accent on the end and declined with a pure ος always shorten the doubtful vowel in the genitive, and in the other cases in both monosyllables and those of more than one syllable; 20σῦς συός, οἱ σύες· μῦς μυός, οἱ μύες· αἱ δρύες, αἱ ὀσφύες,20 and the like.
