[*] 793. A few of the verbs included in 747, which govern the genitive of a noun, allow also the genitive of the infinitive with τοῦ (798), as well as the simple infinitive. This applies chiefly to ἀμελέω, ἐπιμελέομαι, and to the verbs of hindrance etc. included in 807. E.g. Ἀμελήσας τοῦ ὀργίζεσθαι. XEN. Mem. ii. 3, 9. (But ἀμελήσας λέγειν, PLAT. Phaed. 98 D. ) Most verbs of desiring and neglecting take only the simple infinitive. Ἐπιμελέομαι, which usually takes ὅπως with the future indicative (339), allows also the simple infinitive ( THUC. vi. 54), the infinitive with τό ( Lac. v. 7), and the infinitive with τοῦ ( Id. Mem. iii. 3, Id. Mem. 11). (See 361, Id. Mem. 791, and 798.)
