(Who was involved> in the “direct” discourse and what was imagined to> have been said?)Certain verbs sometimes have as their object a participial clause expressing indirect discourse. Remember, indirect discourse–maybe not a good name for the phenomenon–may indicate mental activity as well as speech. In this case QEWROUNTOS (a verbal of perception) has as its object the participial clause KATEIDWLON OUSAN THN POLIN. Though in the accusative case, THN POLIN functions as the semantic subject of OUSAN and KATEIDWLON as the predicate adjective. Paul’s original thought, from which the indirect discourse derives, is something like, “hH POLIS ESTIN KATEIDWLOS” (“The city is full of idols!”).============Steven Lo VulloMadison, WI

Verbs of Perception.–Verbs signifying to see, perceive, hear, learn(i.e. learn by inquiry, hear of), when they denote physical (actual)perception take the participle. When they denote intellectual perceptionthey may take the participle or hoti or hôs with a finite verb. (TheHomeric usage is less strict.)§2111. Such verbs are, in Attic, horô see, aisthanomai perceive, akouôhear, punthanomai learn.§2112. The participle may stand either not in indirect discourse or inindirect discourse.a. Not in Indirect Discourse.–Here verbs of perceiving denote physicalperception–the act perceived or heard of. With akouô and punthanomai theparticiple stands in the genitive; with aisthanomai it usually stands inthe accusative (as with horô), but sometimes in the genitive. (See 1361,1367.)eide Klearchon dielaunonta he saw Clearchus riding through X. A. 1.5.12 ;aisthomenos Lamproklea_ pros tên mêtera chalepainonta perceiving Lamproclesangry with his mother X.

S. 3 . 13; hôs eputhonto têsPulou kateilêmmenês when they learned of the capture of Pylos T. 4.6 .N. Verbs of physical perception, horô (especially) and akouô, regularlytake the present participle in Attic prose, which usually refuses todistinguish between I see a house burning and I see a house burn. Thecomplexive aorist, summing up the action, does however occur, as hôs eidenelaphon ekpêdêsasan . . . ediôken when he saw a hind break cover he gavechase X. C. 1.4.8 . Cp. pesonta eidon Hdt. 9.22.b. In Indirect Discourse.–Here verbs of perceiving denote intellectual [p.472] perception–the fact that something is perceived or heard of. Withakouô and punthanomai the participle stands in the accusative (as withhorô, aisthanomai). Cp. 1363, 1365, 2144, 2145.horômen panta alêthê onta ha legete we see that everything you say is trueX. A. 5.5.24 , aisthanomai tauta houtôs echonta I perceive that this is soX. M. 3.5.5 , êkouse Kuron en Kilikiai onta he heard that Cyrus was inCilicia X.

Verbs of Finding.–Verbs of finding and detecting (heuriskô,(kata)lambanô; pass. haliskomai) in their capacity as verbs of perceivingtake the participle (a) not in indirect discourse, of the act or state inwhich a person or thing is found; or (b) in indirect discourse, of the factthat a person or thing is found in an act or state.a. kêrux aphikomenos hêure tous andras diephtharmenous the herald, on hisarrival, found the men already put to death T. 2.6, heurêtai pistôspra_ttôn he has been found to have dealt faithfully D. 19.332 , a_n ar’allon tina lambanêi pseudomenon if then he catch anybody else lying P.

It is often difficult to distinguish the two constructions of 2113.Thus, katalambanousi neôsti stasei tous tôn Athênaiôn enantiousekpeptôkotas (T. 7.33) may mean they found that the anti-Athenian party hadbeen recently expelled by a revolution (ind. disc.) or them recentlyexpelled (not in ind. disc.). So katalambanousi . . . talla aphestêkotathey found the other cities in a state of revolt T. 1.59 (that they hadrevolted would be possible).

Is that indirect>discourse?Yes, in the traditional understanding.>In Acts 17,16 Paul is “very upset in his spirit (from) observing the city>being idolatrous (full of idols)”> >REB: “he was outraged to see the city so full of idols.”>RSV: “as he saw that the city was full of idols.”There are several different translation strategies; two of the most commonare: (a) transform the acc.-inf/ptc. construction into a dependent nounclause: “I saw that John was running”(b) transform the acc.-inf/ptc. construction into an object + infinitivesequence as complement to the verb: “I saw John run.”>It is possible in Greek (as in English) to use a full subordinate clause as>the object for these verbs, introduced with hOTI or hINA (that), but it is>more common in Greek just have a noun as object which may then be further>qualified by a participial phrase/clause.Yes, and this is equally true of the verbs of perception:Mk 16:4 KAI ANABLEYASAI QEWROUSIN hOTI APOKEKULISTAI hO LIQOSJn 4:19 LEGEI AUTWi hH GUNH: KURIE, QEWRW hOTI PROFHTHS EI SU>Some verbs take an infinitive with accusative, but QEWREW is not one of>them.No; rather QEWREW is one of those verbs of perception that may take aparticiple with an accusative:Mk 5:15 … QEWROUSIN TON DAIMONIZOMENON KAQHMENON hIMATISMENON KAISWFRONOUNTA, TON ESCHKOTA TON LEGIWNALK 10:18 … EQEWROUN TON SATANAN hWS ASTRAPHN EK TOU OURANOU PESONTA.Lk 24:39 … IDETE, hOTI PNEUMA SARKA KAI OSTEA OUK ECEI KAQWS EME QEWREITEECONTA.Jn 6:19 … QEWROUSIN TON IHSOUN PERPATOUNTA EPI THS QALASSHS KAI EGGUS TOUPLOIOU GINOMENON …Jn 6:62 EAN OUN QEWRHTE TON hUIONTOU ANQRWPOU ANABAINONTA hOPOU HN TOPROTERON …Jn 10:12 hO MISQWTOS … QEWREI TON LUKON ERCOMONON KAI AFIHSIN TA PROBATA …– Carl W.

[] Acts 17:16 QEWROUNTOS/QEWROUNTI [] How can we more efficiently search the archives? Combinations of EK with a verb do not require a genitive. I had thought about this possibility since some verbs do have such requirements. Let us take one transitive verb (It is necessary that it be transitive to have an object) and one book to examine this. And the choice is <drumroll> EKBALLW in Matthew.This appears in 25 verses of Mt.7.4, 5, 228.12, 16, 319.25, 33, 34, 3810.1, 812.20, 24, 26, 27, 28, 3513.5215.1717.1921.12, 3922.1325.30In these verses we have objects such as TO KOFOS, THN DOKON, TA PNEUMATA, hHMAS, TA DAIMONIA, THN KRISIN, etc. So far I have noted three passive constructions which would therefore not have an object which includes one case of a gen abs. It would appears thus that having EK as a preposition does NOT require a genitive object. georgegfsomsel_________—– Original Message —-From: Bryant J.

Barrett> (Acts ICC) suggests that the genitive QEWROUNTOS looks back to AUTOU> whereas QEWROUNTI (Byzantine) to AUTWi.BDF (§417) has a nice and clear description. They say:”The circumstantial participle as a clause in the sentence is still very much in use…, either referring to a noun(pronoun) in the same sentence and in agreement with it (conjunctive participle), or used absolutely; in the latter thesubject and participle are in the genitive.”I think it is helpful to think of clauses rather than just phrasal constituents. A sentence is made up of clauses, andclauses are made up of phrases. So, in this complex sentence, we see a main clause with two subordinate clauses. Itshows the power of subordination in Greek. The main focus point is not Paul as such, but the provoking of his spirit,because that is the subject of the main clause. The time and location of this event is indicated by the first clausewhich is a genitive absolute:EN DE TAIS AQHNAIS EKDECOMENOU AUTOUS TOU PAULOUThe initial locative phrase is part of the circumstantial clause. Normally (or is it always?), such situationalbackground genitive absolutes occur before the main clause.The reason or occasion for Paul’s feelings is then given in a following conjunctive participle clauseQEWROUNTOS KATEIDWLON OUSAN THN POLINI believe it is quite common for reason clauses to come after the main clause, but I suppose if the reason clause was tobe emphasized, it could also come before, if there is not already been a genitive absolute clause in that position. Ihaven’t investigated this, but the genitive absolute in, e.g., Matt 25,5 could be said to indicate reason.I would agree with Barret that this is best seen as a conjunctive participle clause rather than a genitive absolute,because it follows the main clause, because it can readily be attached to AUTOU (Paul), and because it parallels thealternative reading with a dative conjunctive participle.Iver Larsen

Regarding the note in Culy-Parsons, it’s perhaps worth noting that Culy believes that adverbial participles are generally in the nominative case, and that may have something to do with the assertion that QEWROUNTOS must be part of a genitive absolute.
