Summary

First Aorist Passive Participle

The aorist passive participle is formed from the sixth principal part, which is to say, on the basis of the aorist passive indicative form. Its endings are very similar to the aorist active endings, with the exception of the nominative masculine and neuter singular forms.

To form the aorist passive participle, simply add to the stem the passive tense formative, -θε, in the masculine and neuter forms and -θει in the feminine forms. Also note that when the consonants -ντ- are deleted in the dative plural (m. and nt.), compensatory lengthening of the vowel occurs:

λυθεντ + σι → λυθεντσι → λυθεσι → λυθεῖσι
