Dependent statements, or subordinate clauses stating that something is, are expressed in various ways:

1. By an infinitive, with or without an accusative (explained in 1972 ff., 2016 ff.). Thus, νομίζω γὰρ ὑ_μᾶς ἐμοὶ εἶναι καὶ πατρίδα καὶ φίλους for I think that you are both fatherland and friends to me X. C. 1.3.6, οἶμαι εἰδέναι I think that I know P. Pr. 312c.

2. By a participle, with or without an accusative (explained in 2106 ff.). Thus, οὐ γὰρ ᾔδεσαν αὐτὸν τεθνηκότα for they did not know that he was dead X. A. 1.10.16, μέμνημαι ἀκούσα_ς I remember that I heard X. C. 1.6.6.

3. By ὅτι or ὡς (and some other conjunctions) with the indicative or optative. On this form of dependent statement see ^cross2577 ff., and under Indirect Discourse.

a. In any form of substantive clause the subject of the subordinate verb may be made the object of the principal verb ( ^cross2182).

b. A clause with ὅτι (ὡς) may precede the principal clause. Cp. ^cross2586.
