[B-Greek] Acts 7,56

Most likely, the participle's position simply stems from the fact that EK
DEXIWN has been fronted to give the location more prominence/emphasis
(assuming that 7:55 reflects an unmarked word order). "Internal head" is a
notion that is restricted to the phenomenon of antecedents of relative
clauses that occur within the clause that modifies them, i.e., internally
headed relative clauses. Thus, the label would never be applied to a
participle.

KAI TON hUION TOU ANQRWPOU EK DEXIWN hESTWTA TOU QEOU


I realize word order is somewhat relaxed in Greek, but
what would account for hESTWTA being put in the middle
of this phrase? (This same group of words appears in
the verse immediately before in a "less awkward"
order, hESTWTA EK DEXIWN TOU QEOU, vs. 55)

I am wondering if this has anything to do with being
"internally headed." Which I presume would draw some
kind of attention to the vision of Jesus actually in a
standing position, rather than seated?
