1. the substance or contents (of a statement), that
1. joined to verbs of saying and declaring (where the accusative and infinitive is used in Latin)
2. in elliptical formulas
3. Noteworthy is the attraction, not uncommon, by which the noun that would naturally be the subject of the subjoined clause, is attracted by the verb of the principal clause and becomes its object
4. As respects construction, ὅτι is joined in the N
1. to the indicative even where the opinion of another is introduced, and therefore according to classical usage the optative should have been used
2. to that subjunctive after ὀυτ μή which differs scarcely at all from the future
3. to the infinitive, by a mingling of two constructions, common even in classic Greek, according to which the writer beginning the construction with ὅτι falls into the construction of the accusative with an infinitive
5. ὅτι is placed before direct discourse (`recitative' ὅτι)
2. the reason why anything is said to be or to be done, because, since, for that, for (a causal conjunc.; Latinquod,quia,quom,nam)
1. it is added to a speaker's words to show what ground he gives for his opinion
2. ὅτι makes reference to some word or words that precede or immediately follow it
