Plut. Mor., Platonic Questions 10.6 — Plutarch's Platonic questions, Plutarch; served verbatim

The thing we call a participle, being a mixture of a verb and noun, is nothing of itself, as are not the common names of male and female qualities (i.e. adjectives), but in construction it is put with others, in regard of tenses belonging to verbs, in regard of cases to nouns. Logicians call them ἀνάκλαστοι,(i.e. reflected),—as φρονῶν comes from φρόνιμος and σωφονῶν from σώφρονος,—having the force both of nouns and appellatives.

The Greek stands ready in the workroom; the English is served. Both faces will read together.
