Re: ἔγειρε semantics and orthography--how would you parse this?
A complicated topic indeed. I wrote a paper on this problem in general, for there are a lot more words where this happens than just ἔγειρε. I counted 3959 places where this type of phenomenon occurs with various words in the New Testament. Rather than provide my take on it here, your post looks like...

Re: Thesis/Dissetation Topics
Semantic scope & pre-articular modifiers. What do you mean by this? Quantifiers and demonstratives appear outside the scope of the Greek article. It's typologically weird and deserves a full treatment. If I am understanding you right, a few articles have already been written on this. “The Synta...

Re: Back in action!
Excellent! There were many times where I wanted to look up an old posting, so it is great to have it back.

Re: Has anyone tried to group NT texts by a commonality of writing style among disparate NT authors?
Yes, I have seen that analysis done in a couple of different ways, but I do not have any reference handy. The last one I remember seeing at SBL a few years ago was done based on syntax patterns.

Re: Greek Grammars on the Articulation of Prepositional Objects
I have been following it too. I am hoping that at the end Stephen will explain his conclusions on the matter. Or perhaps he is going to write a paper on it?

Re: πολιτεύεσθε and πολιτεύεσθαι
Btw Alan, ε ~ αι is the second most common interchange of vowels in the papyri do you have a tool to list all occurrences of say ε ⟷ αι in one/two/.../all manuscripts? This could allow tracing of manuscript lineage, and may help in this particular problem. One more reason not to smooth away that in...

Re: πολιτεύεσθε and πολιτεύεσθαι
In my dissertation, I went with this rule ("as long as they can make sense") but I now think it is too strict and not necessarily reflective what the scribe is trying to convey. I now prefer a standard of "more probable than not", rather than "not strictly impossible"....

Re: πολιτεύεσθε and πολιτεύεσθαι
But I would probably still parse it as an imperative. Gignac says ε ~ αι is the second most common interchange of vowels in the papyri. Well, that is my dilemma. Did 3 different scribes all use what looks like the infinitive ending which would then cause a more awkward grammar, or were they simply ...
