1.) There seems to be a clear periphrastic construction in Mark 1:6 with 
EIMI coupled to ENDEDUMENOS and ESTHIWN, each part having a different 
translation or aspectal feel, "was wearing" and "continually eating" 
respectively.  2.) Allowing the textual tradition without the hO before 
BAPTIZWN, in 1:4 EGENETO is in the same phrase with two participles.  Can 
this be seen as periphrastic as well since GINOMAI is a stative verb?  If 
so, how would you show the difference between the use of the aorist depoent 
participle and the present participle in translation?
