V. 824, etc.; with a Conj., ὅτι θᾶσσον, like ὅτι τάχιστα, Theoc. 24.48; ἐπειδὴ θᾶττον συνεσκότασεν as soon as.., D. 54.5; ἐπειδὰν θ. συνιῇ τις Pl. Prt. 325c; ὅταν θ. φθέγγηται ὁ κόκκυξ Arist. HA 563b17, cf. 611a5; ἐὰν or ἢν θ. as soon as.., X. Cyr. 3.3.20, An. 6.5.20, Pl. Alc. 1.105a; ἂν θ. Men. Pk. 174; εἰ θ. Pl. 324b; ὡς θ. Plb. 1.66.1, 3.82.1; θ. rarely = sooner than, before, ἐξήλαυνον μεσημβρίας οὐ πολλῷ τινι θ. Aristid. Or. 51 (27). 13 (cf. τάχιον infr. 3).

3. the form ταχίων [], neut. ιον, is freq. in late Prose, as LXX Wi. 13.9, 1 Maccabees 2:40, Ph. Bel. 69.14, 17, 73.23, Gem. 1.20, D.H. 6.42, D.S. 20.6, J. (v. infr.), Plu. 2.240d, John 20:4, Alciphr. 3.4; also in Hp. Mul. 1.1, Men. 402.16; but condemned by Phryn. 58, Hdn. Philet. p.436 P.; τὴν ταχίονα τῆς τροφῆς παράθεσιν earlier, sooner, Gal. 19.206: Adv. τάχιον earlier, πλέεται.. περὶ τὸν Σεπτέμβριον μῆνα.., οὐδὲν δὲ κωλύει κἂν τ. Peripl.M.Rubr. 24; τ. τῆς ὑποσχέσεως sooner than they had promised, RÉt.Gr. 6.159 (Iasus); τ. τοῦ παραγγέλματος J. BJ 4.4.2; εἰς μακρὸν αὐτῶν γῆρας καὶ βίου μῆκος ὅμοιον τοῖς τ. ἐπερχομένων Id. AJ 1.3.7; ἀποπαύεται οὔτε τ. ἐτῶν τεσσαράκοντα οὔτε βράδιον ἐτῶν πεντήκοντα Sor. 1.20, cf. 48, al.; formerly, ἐπεσκεύασαν τὸ παρόχιον,.. τ. γενόμενον γυμνάσιον IGRom. 3.639 (Lycia, ii A.D.), cf. 4.1517 (Sardis), 1632.14 (Philadelphia), 1665.5 (Tira), Keil-Premerstein Dritter Bericht p.79 (iii A.D.), Hermes 63.229 (Callatis); cf. supr. 2 fin.

II Sup.:

1 the form ταχύτατος is rare, ταχύτατα ἅρματα Pi. O. 1.77; ταχύτατα as Adv., X. HG 5.1.27 codd., Antiph. 87 codd.; but both passages have been corrected.

2. the usual form is τάχιστος, η, ον, used by Hom. only in neut. pl. τάχιστα as Adv., most quickly, most speedily, ὅττι τάχιστα as soon as may be, as soon as possible, Il. 4.193, 9.659, al.; ὅτι τάχιστα S. OT 1341 (lyr.), Th. 3.31, etc.; so ὅσον τ. A. Ch. 772, S. OT 1436, etc.; (prob.) τ. Pi. O. 13.79; ὅπως τ. A. Ag. 605, S. OT 1410, Ar. V. 167; ὡς τ. IG 12.76.23, Hdt. 1.210, Th. 4.15, E. Rh. 147, X. An. 1.3.14: these are ellipt. phrases, as may be seen from the foll. examples, ὡς δυνατόν ἐστι τάχιστα Pl. Lg. 710b, X. Cyr. 5.4.3; ᾗ δυνατὸν τ. Id. HG 6.3.6; ὡς or ᾗ ἠδύνατο τ. Id. Cyr. 3.2.14, An. 1.2.4; ὡς δύναιτο τ. Hdt. 1.79; ὡς or ᾗ ἂν δύνωμαι τ. X. HG 4.1.38, Cyr. 7.1.9, cf. IG 12.106.18. τάχιστα after Particles of Time, as soon as, ἐπεὶ (Ion. ἐπεί τε) τάχιστα A. Pr. 201, Hdt. 1.27, 75, 7.163, X. An. 7.2.6, PCair.Zen. 34.12 (iii B.C.); ἐπειδὴ τ. Pl. Prt. 310d, Isaiah 9:3, D. 27.16, etc.; ἐπεὰν τ. Hdt. 4.134, 7.129, 8.144; ἐπὰν τ. X. An. 4.6.9; ἐπειδὰν τ. Id. Cyr. 1.3.14, An. 3.1.9; ὅταν τ. Id. Cyr. 4.5.33: also ὡς τ. separated by one or more words, ὡς ἡμέρη τ. ἐγεγόνεε Hdt. 1.11, cf. 19, 47, 65, al., X. Cyr. 1.3.2, Mem. 1.2.16, al.; ὡς δὲ τ. ἐξῆλθε.. κόρον ἔτεκε IG 42(1).121.4 (Epid., iv B.C.); ὡς γὰρ τ. εἰσῆλθον Men. Pk. 287; ὡς ἂν τ. λάβῃς τὴν ἐπιστολήν PCair.Zen. 241.1 (iii B.C.); but ὡς τ. γὰρ ἀπεδήμησας ib. 472.7 (iii B.C.); ὅπως τ. A. Pr. 230: the same notion is sometimes expressed by the part., ἀπαλλαγεὶς τάχιστα, = ὡς ἀπηλλάγη τ., Plu. Dem. 8, cf. 25.

3. freq. also in Prose, τὴν ταχίστην (in full, τὴν τ. ὁδόν X. An. 1.2.20, Luc. Rh. Proverbs 4:1-27) as Adv., by the quickest way, i.e. most quickly, Hdt. 1.24, 73, 81, 86, Hyp. Eux. 7, Men.
