Helps / walk-through:Longus, Daphnis & Chloe, Book 1, Chapter 16, section 5 (final part) wrote:Μέμνησο δέ, ὦ παρθένε, ὅτι καὶ σὲ ποίμνιον ἔθρεψεν, ἀλλὰ καὶ ὣς εἶ καλή.
- Μέμνησο "Remember!" - a perfect imperative - "recall all your thoughts and make a realisation (Ah!! Yeah, now I remember."). Followed by ὅτι ... and the thing remembered.
- παρθένε "young woman".
- ποίμνιον "a flock (of sheep)".
- ἔθρεψεν σὲ "reared / nourished you"
- ἀλλὰ καὶ "yet also".
- ὣς - "thus", "so".
- εἶ - "you are".
- καλή - "beautiful", "virtuous", "honourable". This is an adjective.
