Your commentary doesn't address my question, which is why the idios is
singular. You translate it as though it were plural. [1:12 One of
themselves, a prophet of their own, said, ] It modifies TIS or PROFHTHS,
i.e., a CERTAIN PROPHET HIS OWN SELF (I guess), rather than AUTWN (Cretans).
The fact that it is singular is what is stumbling me, if it were plural, it
wouldn't. Doesn't it normally refer back to the subject of the verb, in this
case EIPEN/ he (a certain prophet)? It looks to me something like this: "A
certain man out from among them (the Cretans) himself (or his own self) a
prophet of them said...."
Respectfully,
Byron Knutson
