X. 360 In οἱ ἀπολλύµενοι, strongly durative though the verb is, we see its perfectivity in the fact that the goal is ideally reached. Ibid. 361 ἀγωνίζεσθαι is only used in the durative present. Ibid. 444 The effective aorist κατήντησαν is very different from a durative like ἐπορεύοντο. Ibid. 441 Other futural presents..have no lack of durativity about them. 1912Wright Compar. Gram. Gk.
