The Brill “ Etymological Dictionary of Greek” (2010) points to Illyric as the origin of βαρις = stronghold, since Illyric was an idg-language the origine of the root might very well be idg.The same Dictionary states πυργος to be Pre-Greek, not inherit…

…which makes me wonder if the repetition of οὐχ οὕτως in Psalm 1:4 is perhaps another way of expressing an emphatic negative in Greek? In other words, maybe ἀλλ’ ἢ only means “but rather / but instead” when it is immediately preceeded by an emphatic…
Yes I figured that that’s what had thrown you, the use of ἐάν for ἄν. It’s actually very common in post-classical texts. If you find ἐάν after a clause-initial relative such as ὅς or ὅστις (or ᾧ in this instance), that’s what it will be, not ἐάν “if.”…
Hi, it might also be worth adding how this verb is treated in syntaxes of the NT. In Whitacre (2021), εὐδόκησα is specifically discussed in sec. 5.125: Global (Constative): Action Viewed as a Whole (the same verb taken from the Mark 1:11 quote). In su…

I am glad that it – which is uncommon – is really the text that is the problem and not the interpreter :-)I will try to joggle a bit more. And does not help that both the content and the grammar is obscure!Statistics: Posted by Hortensius — Mon Oct 21…
Hmm, I’m not sure it’s reported speech as I think maybe φησὶν here is intentional i.e. “The transgressor thinks (resolves) to sin” as per LSJ II b. And I was thinking that αὐτοῦ in ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ is “self” here, so ἐδόλωσεν ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ is “he disguis…
Hi Michael yes I also have BAGD on my bookshelf and consult it from time to time. Having read through Mark and Matthew in the GNT I’m now slowly working through Psalms in the LXX and when I hit an unfamiliar word I check different lexicons in the foll…
This sort of thing is anathema to me. And why do theologians have to be so very nasty to one another? But I’m trying to understand the syntax along with the sense, starting from ταύτης τοίνυν οὕτω συναιρομένης (6 lines up from end). There it looks to …
New Testament Grammars have very little justification to exist outside of a religious belief that this collection of books of fairly varied language and style and authorship has some sort of grammatical unity imposed by God. This is not an idea that m…

Dunno. But if you squint and look sideways, it could be a riff on the second half of Ecc 12:7:καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα ἐπιστρέψῃ πρὸς τὸν θεόν, ὃς ἔδωκεν αὐτό.And the spirit returns to the God who gave itΠρὸς φθόνον ἐπιποθεῖ τὸ πνεῦμα ὃ κατῴκισεν ἐν ἡμῖνHe jealo…

I am so confused about this sentence in Acts of John 98: καὶ τὸν πεπηγμένον ἐξ ἀνεδράστων ἀνάγγη βιάβα καὶ ἁρμονία σοφίας·so, ἀνάγγη, is the verb (aor.pass.ind.) and βιάβα might be predicative to the implicit subject of ἀνάγγη. What I don’t get is τὸν…
ἀλλʼ ἤ seems to mean “but rather” in those verses. IMO, that would make ἤ here somewhat similar to the LSJ A.I.3 “or else, otherwise”, although not quite the same thing.How do the English bibles translate these verses?Statistics: Posted by jeidsath — …
One of the main uses of ποιεῖν is to “cause” things to be in a certain state or to happen. The Greeks used it like that all the way back to Homer.ἡ δ’ οὔτ’ ἀρνεῖται στυγερὸν γάμον οὔτε τελευτὴν / ποιῆσαι δύναταιAnd she [Penelope] neither refuses the o…
