Re: Happy Birthday, Carl Conrad!
I agree! Happy birthday indeed to one who taught at my alma mater, Washington University in St. Louis. His web site, very useful, is still there.

Re: James Earl Ardino
Helma Dik of the University of Chicago posted this recently on the classics list. i'm already ducking in anticipation, but ... There's a youtube video that takes the entire segment to establish the 3sg m-p indicative (with a somewhat unfortunate example, ἀκούεται) and the website states that "T...

Re: Adjectival Use of Prepositional Phrases
I wonder whether Rom 1:17 might not be an example of syntaxis apo koinou, that is ek pisteos should be constrrued both with ho dikaios and with zesetai.

Re: Adjectival Use of Prepositional Phrases
Eduard Norden, the great classicist at Berlin University, called Eph 1:3-14 "the most monstrous conglomerate sentence in ancient Greek." He was a specialist in ancient Greek stylistics and rhetoric. His major works in this area were AGNOSTOS THEOS and DIE ANTIKE KUNSTPROSA. (This occasione...

Re: Is pronouncing Greek out loud important for learning Gre
When I was taking a course on the Greek orators, we were allowed to read the Greek text out loud rather than translate. Prof. Tom Gould could tell dfreom our reading whether we understood the text or not, depending on which words we emphasized, where we paused, etc. Reading out loud presumes a certa...

Re: Learning Ancient Greek vs Other Languages
There would be many drawbacks to learning such terminology for those interested in NT Greek. 1. Names for months differ in different cities--and almost never occur in the NT. What use would it be to know that a month had the name of elaphebolion? 2. To learn the names for different vessels in use in...

Re: 1Pe1:16 - why not imperative?
OT law codes take two forms, casuistic and epideictic.
Epideictic uses the future tense in the decalog, which 1 Peter 1:16 is citing.

Re: Rijksbaron and the Greek New Testament
What was written here is good common sense. One might add that one also needs to take into account whether a text is intentionally literary, e.g. Lucian, or non-literary, e.g. Musonius Rufus and Greek papyri as in Moulton and Milligan's lexicon. Epigraphic texts can be either; a tomb inscription is ...

Re: πιέζω vs πιάζω
These are variant dialect forms of the same term. Doric words often have alpha where Ionic have eta or epsilon. In English the way in which Canadians pronounce "out" is very different from US pronunciation, but it is the same word. "Nurse" in England can mean "hold on one's ...
