neutre οὐθέν, gén. οὐθενός, réc. c. οὐδείς, ARSTT. An. 1, 1, 5, etc.

οὐθέν, later form for οὐδείς, οὐδέν, found in Att. Inscrr. from 378 BC onwards along with οὐδείς, which it supersedes entirely from about 325 BC to 100 BC (forty examples of θ, none of δ)· οὐθείς is in a majority in Ptolemaic papyri up to about 130 BC, after which οὐδείς begins to be common, but does not prevail until i AD ; the evidence of non-Att. Inscrr. is in general agreement with the foregoing; codd. of Th., Antipho, And., Lys., and Hdt. never have οὐθείς, but the θ forms are freq. in those of Pl., X., Isoc., D., Hyp., Arist., and Thphr., freq. as variants for the δ forms; also in Hellenistic writers, Teles, Plb., etc. ; the frequency of θ forms in the uncials of LXX varies roughly according to the date (known or probable) of the translation of the book in question (though the δ forms are in a large majority in the LXX as a whole); the θ forms are rare in codd. of Str. and later writers.

οὐθέν, spätere unattische Form für οὐδείς, οὐδέν, die sich von Arist. u. Theophr. an häufig findet ; vgl. Lobeck Phryn. p. 181 ; findet sich aber schon Ol. 101 geschrieben, s. Att. Seew. I. II. – Das θ ist gegen den sonstigen Gebrauch aus δ des folgenden spititus asper wegen entstanden, daher natürlich οὐδεμία nie in οὐθεμία übergehen kann.
