Re: Opinions about the book "Basics of Verbal Aspect in Biblical Greek"
I consider the last statement of Randall to be a good and compact kind of definition of the force of the perfect: "So the perfect includes a 'perfective' component, as a minimum, and it also includes some kind of continuation of that 'perfective' component, whether as 'stative' or 'resultative'...

The distinction between perfective and imperfective Verbal aspect is nothing the Greek language is all about, and of course never encoded in ...

Re: Help needed in Rev
>Is this the reading in the majority of these types of manuscripts? According to the new Text und Textwert volume and as known before, the majority in the revelation is divided between the three lines of K-Andrew-Complutensis and the reading with the number 12 is best attested, left out, probably be...

Καὶ ἐμέτρησεν...
