[] Galatians 2:8 ellipsis [] Galatians 2:8 ellipsis The ellipsis here seems to be not perfectly mathematical, at first sight…… or, perhaps – if I am allowed to change my mind – it is rigorouslymathematical, if EIS is emphasised, instead of TWN, as the prompter for theellipsis. The sense of the phrase would then be, O GAR ENERGHSAS PETRW EISAPOSTOLHN THS PERITOMHS ENHRGHSEN KAI EMOI EIS TA EQNH [APOSTOLOS] (i.e.that I, Paul, be that which was previously said of Peter, except, not tothose of the circumcision, but to those of the gentiles).Vasile StancuP.S. Please do not take this as an opinion of a scholar: I am just a personwho has a great passion for biblical Greek.

You are correct that there is an ellipsis of the word APOSTOLH. The full form would have been:O GAR ENERGHSAS PETRW EIS APOSTOLHN THS PERITOMHS, ENHRGHSEN KAI EMOI EIS APOSTOLHN TWN EQNWNThe apostleship idea is shared between the two clauses, whereas there is a contrast between Jews and Gentiles, so it is natural to not repeat APOSTOLH in the second clause. If you keep EIS and remove APOSTOLH, then EQNH has to be in the accusative following EIS.Were you thinking of also eliding EIS? In that case, I suppose it might be:O GAR ENERGHSAS PETRW EIS APOSTOLHN THS PERITOMHS, ENHRGHSEN KAI EMOI TWN EQNWNI don’t know if this is possible. It looks strange and ungrammatical to have a hanging genitive like that.Iver
