In the Martyrdom of Polycarp 2:1 we read DEI GAR EULABESTEROUS hHMAS
hPARXONTAS TW QEW THN KATA PANTWN ECOUSIAN ANATIQENAI, which translates as
something like "And we who are sufficiently reverent must attribute the
ultimate authority to God." But most translations appear to take the
EULABESTEROUS hHMAS hRARXONTAS adverbially "We must reverently/devoutly
attibute..."
Any comments/reflections/advice?
