Thanks! I suspected it was a matter of lengthening or contraction but couldn’t find anything about the development of those articles. Did you just remember about τόνς or did you make use of a source that you can share? Again, thanks for this really he…
Question: Is there a concordance of the Greek New Testament that’s similar in style to the Hatch and Redpath Concordance of the Septuaguint? i.e. which lists in alphabetical order every Greek word (including stop words which Perseus doesn’t index) fou…
Interestingly, I looked at a few English translations of this verse, and they do use the “passive” (as in “implication of an agent”): New International VersionFor the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back wi…
Ah, I missed that in verse 2, thanks. But again the ἢ may have been included there to signal a comparison between the two behaviors described in verses 1 and 2. The reason I’m bringing this up is because I just finished reading Chapter 32 Comparison o…

Just looking at text and without knowing anything about the theological context, or the any context for that matter, I read the passage like it was a metaphor for a loan. Life is a loan, and sooner or later the creditors want you to pay back. The way …
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 …

I translated a few stories from Migne’s edition of the alphabetical desert fathers collection last week, for a church bible study.***Notes to Anthony 19ShowThe following were some notes that I wrote for Anthony 19, for a friend also translating it.Παρ…
Well let’s not go overboard over this. We’re talking of the accusative as the subject of an infinitive, and there’s nothing weird about that, it’s perfectly regular, and extremely common. Even in English we can say “I believe him to be an idiot” (Lat….
Yes but it’s the ἀλλ’ἤ combo—quite illogical on its face—that stands in need of explanation. Whatever its origin I think it just has to be accepted as a linguistic quirk.Statistics: Posted by mwh — Thu May 16, 2024 7:26 pm

τῆς Μήδων πόλεωςΜήδων is genitive plural, “city of the Medes.” Not “Mede-city.”But why πόλεως and πόλει in the same line?cf. Herodotus 1.128 ἐν τῷ ἄστεϊ τῶν Μήδων. 2 Kings 17:6 ἐν Αλαε καὶ ἐν Αβωρ ποταμοῖς Γωζαν καὶ Ορη Μήδων in Habor iuxta fluvium Go…
thank you both for so clear answers with useful extra info!!I think my stumbling block was that I read ἐάν as εἰ + ἄν and I thought it was a conditional clause, and not only as ἄν as you suggest mwh. I see now that my “Classical Greek Grammar” §50.3 d…

There is an instance in Psalm 138:6 in which ἀπὸ μακρόθεν matches the construction of the Hebrew ἀπὸ-μακρό-θεν/מ־מ־רחק. Does-θεν have the same function as -hinc?Psalm 138:6 ab longinquē cognōscit “He knows from a distance” ?Statistics: Posted by Sabo…
Isagoge may depend on how much you like Aristotle.The Suda is more of an encyclopedia, if that is what you are looking for. I would be surprised if there is no Latin translation. [EDIT: Ludolph Küster’s version (1705) has a Latin translation]Statistic…
