Adverbs, rather than adjectives, modify participles (S. 2040). ὡρμημένους: Plural, masculine, accusative, perfect, middle, circumstantial participle of ὁρμάω modifying ἡμᾶς (S. 2054).

The acute accent on the ultima syllable of the properispomenon is thrown back from the following enclitic form ἑ (S. 183.C). ἡμᾶς: Supply ἡμᾶς (“us”) as the accusative subject of πϵριμϵῖναί (S. 1972, 3017).
ἑ: Third person, singular, accusative, enclitic pronoun (S. 325). Accusative direct object of the infinitive πϵριμϵῖναί (S. 1554, 1967). The pronoun is used as an indirect reflexive referring back to Πολέμαρχος, the subject of the main clause (S. 1229). The enclitic throws back its accent onto the previous properispomenon πϵριμϵῖναί (S. 183.c).
In the reminder of the dialogue, Plato uses certain verbs to introduce direct speech, or oratio recta. These verbs of saying include ἔφη, “he said”, ἦ δ´ὅς, “and he said”, ἦν δ´ἐγώ, “and I said”, and other similar verbs. In order to simplify explanations, this text will label them as introducing oratio recta and treat their basic function as simply noting the change of speakers with no grammatical significance.
