This paper deals with the problem of the casual origin of the Greek infinitives in -men, -ein, with respect to the «endingless locative» and the «casus indefinitus» hypothesis. These assumptions can be connected with the progress made in the linguistic research especially on the nominal inflection, from a chronological and methodological point of view.
