I've not followed this thread (this ref. has been discussed at length a
number of times previously on b-greek), but I'll at least note that I've
posted a discussion of the text at
<http://faculty.bbc.edu/rdecker/rd_ken.htm>. There is also a .pdf version
that makes the fonts more legible at
<http://faculty.bbc.edu/rdecker/documents/kenosis.pdf>.
The info at these URLs address an idiom involved in the HARPAGMOS crux. If
the idiom is not recognized (and I didn't see any evidence of it in the few
posts on the subject that I just read, though I didn't read all of them),
then the thrust of the passage will be severely misconstrued. There was a
diss. at Harvard (Roy Hoover) that has, IMHO, provided the best explanation
of the idiom and its function here. There was an *HTR* article summarizing
the diss. as well. Details at the URL above.
