[*] a. Greek forms are found only in the singular; the plural, when it occurs, is regular: as, comētae, -ārum, etc.

[*] b. Many Greek nouns vary between the first, the second, and the third declensions: as, Boōtae (genitive of Boōtēs, -is), Thūcȳdidās (accusative plural of Thūcȳdidēs , -is). See § 52. a and § 81.

[*] Note.--The Greek accusative Scīpiadam , from Scīpiadēs, descendant of the Scipios, is found in Horace.
