Here is fourth century monastic text:
...YUCHN KARTWN hUPOMONHS EMPLHSQHSESQAI PROSDOKOUSAN...
Does anyone have an idea why the *future* passive infinitive EMPLHSQHSESQAI
is used? The text would be perfectly intelligibile with an aorist passive
infinitive: "...a soul that expects to be filled with the fruits of
patience..."
Any thought? Any references I could look up?
Thanks,
Mark DelCogliano
