             III The Imperative, Subjunctive, and Optative Moods
             IV The Voices
              V Impersonal Verbs
            VI Some Observations on the Cases

          XIV Commands, Prohibitions, Wishes
           XV Final Clauses
         XVI Consecutive Clauses

          XIX Conditional Clauses

       XXIV The Order of Words
        XXV 'Semitisms'
       XXVI Latinisms
      XXVII Miscellaneous Notes on Style
                  Notes and Corrections

               I Index of Passages
              II Index of Greek Words
             III Index of Persons and Subjects

While I agree that it is a very worthwhile book, it does not specifically
set out to deal with what is ordinarily called "idioms."
