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 (μήτἐ, 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. OC 1139 , 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. IT 591 , 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.

d). the former οὔτε is sts. omitted, ναυσὶ δ’ οὔτε πεζὸς ἰών Pi. P. 10.29 ; νόσοι δ’ οὔτε γῆρας ib. 41 ; Πάρις γὰρ οὔτε συντελὴς πόλις A. Ag. 532 , cf. Ch. 294 ; and v. μήτε 2 .

6). when οὔτε and μήτε correspond, each retains its proper sense, ἀναιδὴς οὔτ’ εἰμὶ μήτε γενοίμην neither am I shameless, nor may I become so, D. 8.68 , cf. Aeschin. 3.128 .
