It seems established that infinitives used in declarative infinitive clauses (DeclarInfCl) convey relative temporality in Classical Greek, with the aorist infinitive referring to anteriority, the present infinitive to simultaneity, and the future infinitive to posteriority. In Hellenistic/Roman Greek and in Early Byzantine Greek, by comparison, DeclarInfCl do not display the same variety of infinitive forms. These periods appear to avoid the aorist infinitive while manifesting a very common use of perfect infinitives and stative present infinitives in DeclarInfCl. These tendencies stand in a complex relation to other developments in the post-Classical period. This paper accounts for what appears to be the decline of the aorist infinitive in DeclarInfCl, claiming that this phenomenon is most likely related to the perfect infinitive adopting the function of conveying anteriority in DeclarInfCl.

古希腊陈述性不定式从句中不定过去不定式的衰落

似乎已经确定，陈述性不定式从句 (DeclarInfCl) 中使用的不定式在古典希腊语中表达了相对时间性，不定式不定式指先行性，现在不定式指同时性，将来不定式指后性。相比之下，在希腊/罗马希腊语和早期拜占庭希腊语中，DeclarInfCl 不显示相同种类的不定式形式。这些时期似乎避免了不定过去不定式，同时在 DeclarInfCl 中表现出完全不定式和静态现在不定式的非常普遍的使用。这些趋势与后古典时期的其他发展有着复杂的关系。这篇论文解释了似乎是 DeclarInfCl 中不定式不定式的衰落，
