Re: Galatians 4:19 - Constructio ad sensum?
I would agree with you Jason. A constructio ad sensum is not necessary here.

Re: Matt 2:18 ὅτι οὐκ εἰσίν ... historical present?
In my reading today I came across εισιν seemingly used as a past tense at Acts 4:13 where it says: "Θεωρουντες δε την του Πετρου παρρησιαν και Ιαωνου, και καταλαβομενοι οτι άνθρωποι αγράμματοι εισιν και ιδιωται, εθευμαζον, επιγινωσκον τε αυτούς ότι συν τω Ιησου ήσαν,..." Is this a candida...

Re: Matt 2:18 ὅτι οὐκ εἰσίν ... historical present?
As the events begin to go back and forth in this Historical account, the movement is usually created around a DC. This is why I argue that the Historical Present is not part of the Greek system. I'm not sure what is meant by being "part of the Greek system," but the phenomenon is real eve...

Thanks, Mike. I'd have to request it from the closed stacks which could take days. If you've a chance to take a peek at it, that would be great.

Re: Matt 2:18 ὅτι οὐκ εἰσίν ... historical present?
The cognitive linguistic view of such phenomenon as the historical present would say that this is not one. In cognitive linguistics historical present is a unique semantic-pragmatic construction where the speaker conceptualizes a past event as if it is currently taking place. Thus the deitic center...

Re: Matt 2:18 ὅτι οὐκ εἰσίν ... historical present?
I think you're beginning the question that εἰμί as a historical present is an idiom. That's exactly the point I am questioning.

Re: Matt 2:18 ὅτι οὐκ εἰσίν ... historical present?
Actually, it would be a highly untypical example of the historical present--if it is one at all--because it involves a state verb εἰσίν.Alan Patterson wrote:Here is a typical example of what some call the Historic Present.
My question is whether Battle's identification of it as an HP is correct.

Matt 2:18 ὅτι οὐκ εἰσίν ... historical present?
It is usually said that historical present does not work with statives, but John Battle in his 1975 dissertation on the Greek present ( PDF ) claims that there is one for the stative verb εἰσίν in Matt 2:18 :- φωνὴ ἐν Ῥαμὰ ἠκούσθη, / κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὀδυρμὸς πολύς · / Ῥαχὴλ κλαίουσα τὰ τέκνα αὐτῆς, / κα...

Re: ὶνα πας ὸ πιστευων
I am sure you have read GGBB. In one footnote, Dan Wallace says that the (incomplete?) ὸ πιστευων, for example, is likely continuous, ongoing (maybe even in a salvific context), in the particular verse he was addressing. I'm sure everyone who read that footnote must have been frustrated. Now, it is...
