Vers. plur. ἔφθαν und φθάν, statt ἔφθησαν, Il. 11, 51, int. [[φθῆναι]], conj. φθῶ, 3 Pers. ep. φθήῃ u. φθῇσιν, Il. 16, 816. 23, 805, plur. [[φθέωμεν]], φθέωσιν, Od. 16, 383. 24, 437, optat. φθαίην, wozu man auch παραφθαίῃσι Il. 10, 346 rechnet, nachhomerisch auch ἔφθασα, aor. med. nur ep. φθάμενος; dor. ἔφθαξα, perf. ἔφθακα; Sp. auch φθασθῆναι, D. Hal.; – <b class="b2">zuvorkommen</b>, zuvorthun, eher als ein Anderer thun; absolut, wie es Il. 9, 506 von der Ate heißt πολλὸν ὑπεκπροθέει, φθάνει δέ τε πᾶσαν ἐπ' αἶαν βλάπτουσ' ἀνθρώπ ους, zuvor kommt sie über den ganzen Erdkreis hin, wenn man nicht auch hier besser das partic. damit verbindet (s. unt.); [[δέδοικα]], μὴ πολὺς πλούτου [[πόνος]] γένηται τοῦ φθάσαντος [[ἁρπαγή]] Aesch. Pers. 738; φθάνειν εἰς τὴν πόλιν, zuvor, zuerst in die Stadt kommen, Xen. Cyr. 5, 4,9; τὴν δὲ ἑτέραν φθάσαι βουλομένην προσδραμεῖν Mem. 2, 2,3; – c. accus. der Person, der man zuvorkommt, die man im Laufe einholt; φθάνει δέ τε καὶ τὸν ἄγοντα Il. 21, 267, Hes. O. 556. 572; φθάσας ὁ Αθηναίων [[ἄγγελος]] τὸν Λακεδαιμονίων ἀμείβετο τοῖσδε Her. 7, 161; οἱ δ' ἔφθησαν τὸν χειμῶνα 7, 188; [[ἐπείπερ]] ἔφθης νεωτέρο υς Eur. Heracl. 121. – Die Handlung, in der Einer dem Andern zuvor kommt, wird gew. durch das partic. ausgedrückt, wo wir im Deutschen häufig das partic. durch ein verb. finit. u. [[φθάνω]] durch ein adv. »zuvor«, »eher« wiedergeben können; ἀλλ' ἄρα μιν φθῆ Τηλέμαχος [[κατόπισθε]] βαλών, Telemach kam ihm imt Werfen zuvor, traf ihn zuvor, Od. 22, 91; φθῆ σε [[τέλος]] θανάτοιο κιχήμενον, dich erreichte eher der Tod, Il. 11, 451; ἵνα μή τις Ἀχαιῶν φθαίη ἐπε υξάμενος βαλέειν, ὁ δὲ [[δεύτερος]] ἔλθοι, 10, 367; vgl. 16, 314. 23, 805 Od. 16, 383. 24, 437; selten mit einem pass., εἴ κε φθήῃ τυπ είς Il. 16, 861, eher verwundet werden, wie ἦ κε πολὺ φθαίη [[πόλις]] ἁλοῦσα, eher erobert werden, 13, 815; βουλόμενοι [[φθῆναι]] τοὺς Ἀθηναίους ἀπικόμενοι εἰς τὸ [[ἄστυ]] Her. 6, 115, indem sie den Athenern in die Stadt kommend zuvorkommen wollten, d. i. indem sie eher als die Athener in die Stadt gelangen wollten; φθάναι γόνασι προσπεσὼν πατρός Eur. Herc.. 986; Med. 1169 u. öfter; Ar. Plut 685. 1102; φθάνει [[ἡμέρα]] γενομένη αὐτὸν πορε υόμενον, es ward eher Tag, ehe er ankam, Xen. Cyr. 5, 7,16, wie An. 5, 7,16, der Tag überraschte ihn; ὃς ἂν φθάσῃ τελευτήσας διὰ τὰ δεσμά Plat. Euthyphr. 9 a; σμικρόν γε ἔφθης με ἐρόμενος Polit. 293 e; φθάνουσιν ἐπὶ τῷ ἄκρῳ γενόμενοι τοὺς πολεμίους Xen. An. 3, 4,49; φθήσονται ποιοῦντες Isocr. 4, 79; Sp., ἔφθη παρενεχθεὶς τοσοῦτον, ὅσον τὰς αἰχμὰς εἰς τὴν γῆν παγῆναι Plut. Sull. 29, vgl. 37. - Selten mit dem int., φθαίης ἔτ' εἰς ἐκκλησίαν [[ἐλθεῖν]] Ar. Equ. 942; vgl. Luc. D. Mort. 13, 2. - Es folgt auch [[πρίν]], ἔφθη ὀρεξάμενος πρὶν οὐτάσαι Il. 16, 322, wie Xen. Cyr. 3, 2,4; u. ἤ, φθήσονται τούτοισι πόδες καὶ γοῦνα καμόντα ἢ ὑμῖν, die Füße und Kniee werden ihnen eher müde werden als euch, Il. 23, 444; Od. 11, 58; Theocr. 2, 114, Her. φθαίητε γὰρ ἂν [[πολλάκις]] ἐξανδραπ οδισθέντες ἤ τινα πυθέσθαι ἡμέων 6, 108; ήσκήκεις δὲ φθάνειν ἕλκων ἢ τὰ πτηνά φυγεῖν Xen. Cyr. 1, 6,39, du hattest dich geübt, das Netz zuzuziehen, ehe die Vögel fort flogen; u. πρὶν ἤ, ἔφθησαν ἐπὶ τοὺς πύργο υς ἀναβάντες πρὶν ἤ – Her. 9, 70; u. [[ἀλλά]], οὐκ [[ἄλλος]] φθὰς ἐμεῦ [[κατήγορος]] ἔσται, [[ἀλλά]] σφεα αὐτὸς ἐγὼ [[κατερέω]], kein Anderer soll mein Ankläger eher sein, sondern ich werde selbst anklagen, d. i. kein Anderer soll mich eher anklagen, als ich, Her. 3, 71. – In der letzten Stelle ist nicht ein tempus finit. von [[φθάνω]] mit dem particip. eines anderen Verbums verbunden, sondern umgekehrt das part. φθάς mit dem tempus finit. eines anderen Verbums; so bei Hom. das partic. φθάμενος, ὅς μ' ἔβαλε φθάμενος statt ὅς μ' ἔφθη βαλών, der mich zuvor, eher traf, Il. 5, 119. 13, 387. 23, 779 Od. 19, 449; und so bei den Attikern partic. praes. und aor., φθάνοντες δῃοῦμεν Xen. Cyr. 3, 3,18, wie φθάσας ἀσθενώσω 1, 5,3, eher will ich schwachen; Ar. Plut. 1102; φθάσας προσπεσοῦμαι Thuc. 5, 9. – Sp. brauchen auch das pass. φθάνεσθαι, überholt, eingeholt, überrascht werden, von Einem, ὑπ ό τινος, Bian. 5 (IX, 278). – Besonders zu merken ist noch die Verbindung mit οὐ und folgendem [[καί]], κακκᾶν ἂν οὐκ ἔφθης φράσαι κἀγὼ λαβὼν θ ύραζε ἐξέφερον ἄν Ar. Nubb. 1366, u. sonst, gew. c. partic., οὐκ ἐφθημεν ἐλθόντες καὶ νόσοις ἐλήφθημεν, <b class="b2">nicht sobald</b> waren wir angekommen, oder <b class="b2">kaum</b> waren wir angekommen, als wir auch schon von Krankheiten ergriffen wurden; οὐκ ἔφθη μοι συμβᾶσα ἡ [[ἀτυχία]] καὶ εὐθὺς ἐπεχείρησαν διαφορῆσαι τἄνδοθεν, kaum, nicht sobald war mir das Unglück begegnet, als sie sogleich, Dem. 57, 65; οὐ γὰρ ἔφθη Θεόπομπος τὴν ἐπιδικαοὐκ ἔφθη λέγων καὶ εὐθὺς ἐγέλασαν ἅπαντες, eigtl., er kam mit dem Reden nicht dem Lachen zuvor, d. i. kaum hatte erzu reden angefangen, als auch Alle schon lachten. – In Fragesätzen bezeichnet οὐ [[φθάνω]] die lingeduld in Erwartung der Erfüllung dessen, was die Frage ausspricht, drückt also eine nachdrückliche Aufforderung aus, oder ist eine mildere Form für den imperat, bes. für augenblickl ich zu vollziehende Befehle, οὐκ ἂν φθάνοις λέγων; willst du nicht zuvor sagen? d. i. sage es auf der Stelle, so rede nur, Plat. Conv. 185 e; οὐκ ἂν φθάνοιτ' ἀκολο υθοῦντες; wollt ihr nicht auf der Stelle folgen? d. i. folgt auf der Stelle! Auch mit part. med. u. pass., οὐκ ἂν φθάνοιτε τὴν ταχίστην [[ὀπίσω]] ἀπαλλασσόμενοι; d. i. geht schnell zurück, Her. 7, 162; οὐκ ἂν φθάνοι κατακοπτόμενος; wird nicht sogleich niedergehauen werden? Dem. 25, 40. – Aehnlich wird das partic. aor. zum imperat. gesetzt, λέγε φθάσας, sprich schnell. – Im Antwortssatz ist οὐκ ἂν φθάνοιμι »ich werde sogleich beginnen«, Plat. Conv. 214 e Phaed. 100 c; οὐκ ἂν φθάνοις ἀκούων, das sollst du gleich hören, Euthyd. 272 d. – [Im praes. ist α bei den Epikern lang, Il. 9, 506. 21, 262, bei den Attikern kurz, bei Sp. nach dem Versbedürfnisse lang u. kurz, Jac. A. P. p. 884.] | |||
