1.1 Every neuter monosyllabic noun has a circumflex, for example 20πᾶν, πῦρ, κῆρ, ἦρ, ὦς, φῶς, σταῖς, κρῖ, σκῶρ,20 and their vocatives; for the vocatives also follow the nominative which has a circumflex. The monosyllabic names of the letters also have a circumflex: 20μῦ, νῦ, ξῖ, πῖ, ῥῶ,20 and the rest. But among masculines, 20Θρᾷξ20 and 20βῶξ,20 have a circumflex, for from 20Θράϊξ20 and 20βόαξ·20 however, custom makes 20Θρᾴξ.20 oxytone. Of those ending in sigma, 20λᾶς, πᾶς, φθοῖς, εἷς·20 have a circumflex; however the disyllabic 20οὐδείς20 and 20μηδείς20 are oxytone. 1.2 All monosyllables in -υς with a upsilon also have a circumflex: 20μῦς, σῦς, ὗς·20 but their oblique cases have a short υ and are paroxytone: 20σύες, μύες,20 and the rest; these feminines have a circumflex: 20μνᾶ, γῆ, γραῦς, Κῶς ἡ20 island, 20βῶς20 the shield; but 20δώς20 the gift and 20κλείς20 are oxytone; but 20σῶς20 and 20παῖς20 whether masculine or feminine have a circumflex. All other monosyllables are oxytone: 20αἴξ, Πάν20 the proper name, 20φθείρ, Ζεύς, ῥήξ, μήν, χήν, σής, κτείς, θώψ, Τρώς, φώς20 the man; the participles are also oxytone: 20στάς, βάς· στάν, βάν.20 1.3 Those in -ας declined by dropping the σ or by means of ντ have a circumflex: 20βορρᾶς βορρᾶ, Θωμᾶς Θωμᾶ, ἀλλᾶς ἀλλᾶντος,20 except for 20ἱμάς ἱμάντος20 and 20ἀν δριάς ἀνδριάντος·20 the participles are also oxytone: 20ἱστάς ἱστάντος, βιβάς βιβάντος.20 But as many as are not declined by dropping the σ nor by means of ντ are oxytone: 20ἐθάς ἐθάδος,20 and the feminines: 20λαμπάς, τριάς.20 1.4 Those in -αν of more than one syllable are oxytone: 20ὁ παιάν, ὁ Ἀλκμάν· ὦ παιάν· ὦ Ἀλκμάν·20 but their genitives are properispomenon: 20τοῦ παιᾶνος, τοῦ Ἀλκμᾶνος.20 1.5 All those in -εις with a diphthong are oxytone: 20οὐδείς, μηδείς, καθείς20 and the participles: 20ὁ τυφθείς,20 except for the monosyllabic 20εἷς20, as we also said before. 1.6 All those in -ευς are oxytone: 20βασιλεύς, Πηλεύς·20 but their vocatives, dropping the σ, have a circumflex. 1.7 Those in -ης, if they are compounded from 20κλέος,20 have a circumflex; for 20Σοφοκλέης20 becomes 20Σοφοκλῆς,20 and similar ones; and as many as have a genitive in -ου also have a circumflex: 20Ἑρμῆς Ἑρμοῦ, Ἀπελλῆς Ἀπελλοῦ·20 but apart from these they are oxytone, whether masculine or feminine: 20ψευδής ψευδέος, ἀληθής ἀληθέος, προβλής προβλῆτος, ἀβλής ἀβλῆτος.20 1.8 All those in -ους have a circumflex, except for 20πούς20 and 20ὀδούς.20 1.9 Those in -υς, whether masculine or feminine, are oxytone: 20τρα χύς, βραδύς, ἰχθύς, χλαμύς, νηδύς.20 1.10 Those in -ων declined by means of ντ have a circumflex: 20Ξενο φῶν Ξενοφῶντος, Χαιρεφῶν Χαιρεφῶντος,20 because such are also from contraction; but if they are declined otherwise, they are oxytone: 20Τυφῶνος, ἡγεμόνος,20 except for 20Ποσειδῶν Ποσειδῶνος·20 for it is contracted from 20Ποσειδάων.20 The second futures in the participles also have a circumflex: 20ὁ τυπῶν, ὁ λιβῶν.20 1.11 Those in -ως are oxytone: 20ἱδρώς, λαγώς·20 the participles are also oxytone: ὁ 20πεποιηκώς, ὁ τετυφώς, ὁ ἑστώς·20 for even if this is contracted, it is not from an acute and a grave, but from a grave and an acute, for which reason it is again oxytone according to the rule. 1.12 No feminine or neuter noun of more than one syllable has a circumflex if it is uncontracted, but those with a circumflex have been circumflexed from contraction: 20συκία συκῆ, φακέα φακῆ·20 likewise also the neuters: 20ἀργύρεον ἀργυ ροῦν, χρύσεον χρυσοῦν·20 but those not from contraction are all oxytone: 20ἡ Λητώ, ἡ λαμπάς, ἡ αἰδώς, τὸ ἑστάν, τὸ ζευγνύν·20 but as many feminine or neuter nouns from
