This paper argues that Euthyphro 10b–c, which has been taken to be problematic by scholars such as Geach (1966), Cohen (2005 [1971]), and others, is in fact straightforward if one correctly interprets the Greek: the text draws a distinction between an action, expressed by the verb, and a property, expressed by the passive participle.
