1955. The future perfect denotes a future state resulting from a completed action: ἀναγεγράψομαι I shall stand enrolled, δεδήσεται he shall be kept in prison; ““ἡ θύρα_ κεκλῄσεται” the door will be kept shut” Ar. Lys. 1071.

a. Most future perfects are middle in form, passive in meaning (581).

b. The active future perfect is usually periphrastic (600): ““τὰ δέοντ᾽ ἐσόμεθα ἐγνωκότες” we shall have determined on our duty” D. 4.50.
