Greetings all,

 just a simple question , I understand that Koine Greek is a dead language and as such the exact pronounciation as used in the 1st century is not known for a certainty, but what is the concensus on the pronounciation of Iesous?.
The few Greek Grammars i have (Mounce and W. Powers) do not list Iota and Eta as a diphthong, which would mean Iesous would be pronounced as I-E-SOUS, three syllables, is this correct?. 

Many thanks, Ivo Smyly.
