A.and not, Il.22.265 (v.l.), Hdt.3.155 (v.l.); οὔτε γὰρ ἐκείνους διδόναι, Lat. neque enim, Id.1.3 (prob. f.l. for οὐδὲ); and occasionally in later writers, Arist.Ph.208a8, Luc.Par.27,53, etc.
II. mostly repeated, οὔτε . . , οὔτε . . neither . . , nor . . , Lat. neque . . , neque . . , Hom., etc.—Hom. freq. joins another Particle with the first or second οὔτε, as οὔτ᾽ ἂρ . . , οὔτε . . ; οὔτ᾽ ἂρ . . , οὔτ᾽ ἂρ . . ; οὔτ᾽ ἄρ τε . . , οὔτ᾽ ἄρα . . Il.5.89; οὔτ᾽ οὖν, v. οὖν 1; οὔτε . . οὖν . . , οὔτ᾽ ἄρα . . 20.7; οὔτ᾽ ἄρ . . , οὔτε τι . . , or οὔτε τι . . , οὔτε . . , 1.115, Od.1.202; so too οὔτε . . , οὔτε μὴν . . X.Cyr.4.3.12; οὔτε . . , οὔτ᾽ αὖ . . , v. infr. 3.
2. freq. used to divide up a general negation into two or more parts, “ὡς δ᾽ ἐν ὀνείρῳ οὐ δύναται φεύγοντα διώκειν, οὔτ᾽ ἂρ ὁ τὸν δύναται ὑποφεύγειν οὔθ᾽ ὁ διώκειν” Il.22.200; thrice repeated, “οὔ μοι Τρώων . . μέλει ἄλγος . . , οὔτ᾽ αὐτῆς Ἑκάβης οὔτε Πριάμοιο ἄνακτος οὔτε κασιγνήτων” 6.450; “οὐκ ἔπειθεν οὔτε τοὺς στρατηγοὺς οὔτε τοὺς στρατιώτας” Th.4.4: without a neg. preceding, Il.1.490, 2.202, etc.
3. within one of the two clauses distd. by οὔτε a subordinate part may be introduced by οὐδέ, οὔτε γὰρ ἐκ σκίλλης ῥόδα φύεται οὐδ᾽ ὑάκινθος （οὐθ᾽ codd.), “οὐ δέ ποτ᾽ ἐκ δούλης τέκνον ἐλευθέριον” Thgn.537; “οὔτε . . ἀπέφηνεν οὐδὲ παρέσχηται μάρτυρας, οὔτ᾽ αὖ τὸν ἀριθμὸν . . ἐπανέφερεν” D.27.49: sts. after several clauses distd. by οὔτε the last is introduced emphat. by οὐδέ, οὔτε φάρμακα οὔτε καύσεις οὔτε τομαὶ οὐδ᾽ αὖ ἐπῳδαί nor yet incantations, Pl. R.426b, cf. 499b (so μηδέ after clauses with “μήτε, μήτε παιδεία μήτε δικαστήρια μήτε νόμοι μηδὲ ἀνάγκη μηδεμία” Id.Prt.327d); so οὐδέ （μηδέ) may sts. follow a single οὔτε （μήτε）, οὐδέ ποτέ σφιν οὔτε τι πημανθῆναι ἔπι δέος, οὐδ᾽ ἀπολέσθαι neither to suffer misery, nor yet to die, v. l. in Od.8.563, cf. Pi.P.8.83, I.2.44, S.OC1139, 1141 (s.v.l.), 1297 (cj.), Pl. Ap.19d: in many of these places, however, the readings vary, and editors have altered οὐδέ into οὔτε; but this cannot be done in some cases, as “οὔτ᾽ ἂν ὑπό γε ἑνὸς . . πάθοι, ἴσως δ᾽ οὐδὲ ὑπὸ πλεόνων” Id.La. 182b: so when οὔτε is folld. by οὐδὲ μέν, Od.13.207; by οὐδὲ μήν, X. Cyr.4.5.27; οὐδ᾽ αὖ, v. supr.—But οὔτε （μήτε) cannot be used simply answering to οὐδέ （μηδέ), v. μηδέ A. 2.
4. οὔτε may be folld. by a Posit. clause with τε, οὔτ᾽ αὐτὸς κτενέει, ἀπό τ᾽ ἄλλους πάντας ἐρύξει he both will not kill and will defend, Il.24.156, cf. A.Pr.246, 262, Hdt.5.49, X.An.7.7.48, etc.: sts. the neg. is added after the τε“, οὔτ᾽ ὦν . . καρπὸν ἔδωκαν ἄρουραι, δένδρεά τ᾽ οὐκ ἐθέλει . . φέρειν” Pi.N.11.40, cf. S. Ant.763, E.Hipp.302; “κυάμους δὲ οὔτε τι μάλα σπείρουσι, τούς τε γενομένους οὔτε τρώγουσι οὔτε ἕψοντες πατέονται” Hdt.2.37: the combination οὔτε . . , καί . . is dub. in E.IT591, but is found in later writers, as Luc.DMeretr.2.4, Chor.in Rev.Phil.1877.218.
5. οὔτε is freq., by anacoluthon, folld. not by a second οὔτε, but by some other Particle, as by οὐδέ, v. supr. 3; by δέ alone, Il.24.368, Hdt.1.108, Pl.R. 388e, X.An.6.3.16.
b. in Poets, οὐ sts. follows without any conjunctive Particle, “οὐκ ἦν ἀλέξημ᾽ οὐδὲν οὔτε βρώσιμον, οὐ χριστόν, οὔτε πιστόν” A.Pr.479; οὔτε πλινθυφεῖς δόμους . . ᾖσαν, οὐ ξυλουργίαν ib.450, cf. Theoc.15.139 sq.; “οὔτε βλάστας . . πατρός, οὐ μητρὸς εἶχον” S.OC 972, cf. Ant.249, E.Or.41: so also in the Prose of Hdt., ἐς ποταμὸν οὔτε ἐνουρέουσι οὔτε ἐμπτύουσι, οὐ χεῖρας ἐναπονίζονται, οὐδέ . . 1.138.
c. in Poets also οὔτε is sts. replaced by “οὐ, οὐ νιφετὸς οὔτ᾽ ἂρ χειμὼν πολὺς οὔτε ποτ᾽ ὄμβρος” Od.4.566; “οὐ γὰρ ἂν εἰδείης ἀνδρὸς νόον οὔτε γυναικός” Thgn.125 (dub. l.), cf. Il.1.115, Od.9.136, A.Pers.588 (lyr., s. v.l.), etc.
