[*] 1671. Before a relative in the same case as a noun or pronoun dependent on a preposition, the preposition is usually omitted: ““κατὰ ταύτην τὴν ἡλικία_ν ἦν ἣν ἐγὼ νῦν” he was at that age at which I now am” D. 21.155, φιλεῖται ὑπὸ ὧν ( = τούτων ὧν) ““φιλεῖται” is loved by whom it is loved” P. Euth. 10c. But the preposition is repeated if the relative precedes: ““πρὸς ὅ τις πέφυ_κε, πρὸς τοῦτο ἕνα πρὸς ἓν ἕκαστον ἔργον δεῖ κομίζειν” it is necessary to set each individual to some one work to which he is adapted by nature” P. R. 423d.
