This paper presents linguistic evidence that Attic -tt- and -rr-, corresponding to Ionic -ss- and -rs-, are secondary developments, gradually displacing original Attic -ss- and -rs- and progressing from vulgar to cultivated speech. The later consonant-groups originated in the Euboean dialect of Eretria and Styra because of the weakness of the secondary -s-. From there they affected the speech of the Attic countryside and were later adopted in Athenian cultivated language and literature during the Peloponnesian war because of the migration of the entire Attic rural population to the city of Athens itself.
