So I guess we'll have to check out those examples and see how many--if
any--appear in statements comparable to that of the "Divine
Liturgy"--assertions regarding the nature of what one offers to God. The
raw numbers are interesting, and especially, I guess, the fact that there's
no instance of the combination of KATA PANTA KAI DIA PANTA.
