First Aorist Active Participle:

The second aorist participle has the same endings as the present participle, but they are placed on the stem of the third principle part (and do not include augmentation). Differing from the present participle, second aorists are accented on the participle ending itself.

Second Aorist Active Participle:

The perfect participle is used less frequently in Greek than the aorist participle, but still with much regularity. As with the second aorist participle, accents fall on the participle endings.
