Re: Scribes don’t augment right

2. I ton of them were for any verb beginning with ευ which remained unaugmented instead of the expected ηυ, regardless of whether it was imperfect or aorist. I am not sure though whether I should view that as a conjugational feature, or whether it should be treated as an alternative spelling. It se...

Re: New Testament Greek Manuscripts, by Reuben Swanson

B-Greek forum member Alan Bunning runs https://greekcntr.org/index.htm , which is sorta like Swanson, though at the moment not nearly as many manuscripts used in the lines. I myself recently purchased Swanson's volumes on Acts, Luke, and Mark (still awaiting delivery of the final two mentioned) due ...

Re: Infinitive Subjects of ἐγένετο

I agree with what Barry said - it's likely a Septuagintism. That most of your examples are from Luke-Acts (as Barry also noted) is a good indication - it is well known that Luke was attempting to mimic Septuagint style in his compositions. I'd also say it's just impersonal: "It happened... It b...

Re: Acts 9:24 τε

Pretty sure this would correspond to what BDAG has under meaning 2 C) for τέ: 2. marker of connection between coordinate nonsequential items ⓒ w. the same mng. τὲ … καί (Jos., Bell. 2, 142, Ant. 1, 9) and τὲ καί α. connecting concepts, usu. of the same kind or corresponding as opposites.

Re: 2 Cor 5:10

You'd probably be better searching for the lemma form rather than the genitive: βῆμα. Can try Perseus Online as a start: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/morph?l=%CE%B2%E1%BF%86%CE%BC%CE%B1&la=greek#lexicon Click on "LSJ", and you'll get the following: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/h...

Re: Jude 1:15

ἁμαρτωλός is being used substantively; ἀσεβής being the descriptive adjective (these "sinners" are ungodly).

ἁμαρτωλοὶ are the subject of the verb λαλέω.

So yes, whilst ἁμαρτωλός is an adjective per se, most (quite a lot at least) adjectives can be used substantively/as a noun.

Re: Heb 1:3 & the SBLGNT text

Or perhaps P46 adds a word, making it δι᾽ αὑτοῦ, and placing it in the next clause: Oh yes, absolutely an option. I was basing my comment on how the NA27 apparatus indicated the variant, which puts it down as an omission of the possessive, rather than addition of the preposition. This is mainly due...

Re: Needing Help with Erasmus Exemplar

The raised theta on παρθένον and παρθένου is surely not a correction but a deliberate abbreviation used by some scribes. Here is another example in GA 19: http://ntvmr.uni-muenster.de/community/modules/papyri/?site=INTF&image=30019/undefined/4240/10/339 I presume, given the reference to Mary, i...

Re: Needing Help with Erasmus Exemplar

Thanks. However, I try to read the Greek NT daily (NA28 & UBS-5) and have no problem speed reading the minuscule type set. The modern Greek script used in the NA and UBS GNT's is set to be easily read after-all. We also benefit from the Greek letters not being in joined-up handwriting. Be willi...

Re: Heb 1:3 & the SBLGNT text

So NA27 seems to be the best single source of variant readings? More than likely NA28 contains the same list. Unfortunately not at home to check on that. I would hazard a guess that the ECM of the Epistles will be the best (future) source, however if you go to http://ntvmr.uni-muenster.de/nt-transc...
