[*] 907. The participle is used in the same way in a personal construction with δῆλός εἰμι and φανερός εἰμι, in preference to an impersonal expression. So with ἐπάιστος γίνομαι in Herodotus. E.g.

• “Δῆλός τ᾽ ἦν οἰόμενος, κ.τ.λ.,” “it was evident that he thought, etc.” XEN. An. ii. 5, 27. (This is equivalent to δῆλον ἦν ὅτι οἴοιτο. See 899; 912.)
• “Ἀπικόμενοι μὲν φανεροί εἰσι ἐς Ὄασιν πόλιν,” “it is evident that they came to the city Oasis.” HDT. iii. 26.
• “Ὡς ἐπάιστος ἐγένετο τοῦτο ἐργασμένος,” “when it became known (heard of) that he had done this.” Id. ii. 119.

Similar is the participle with φανερὸν ποιῶ, as “φανερὸν πᾶσιν ἐποίησαν οὐκ ἰδίᾳ πολεμοῦντες,” “they made it evident to all that they were not fighting for themselves.” LYCURG. 50.
