"KAT' IDIAN" is semantically and syntactically similar (not identical) to
the, elsewhere occurring (e.g. Luke 9:18), "KATA MONAS". I wonder if the
parallel use of the two idioms could be "seen" in Mark's "KAT' IDIAN
MONOUS". I mean, could "KAT' IDIAN MONOUS" possibly be regarded as an
unintentional combination of the phrases above?
