No, no idea what you mean, I don't know how you extracted that from my post.
Read Cambridge scholar Instone-Brewer's work (which is freely available in
print and also on the net), it sums up the current scholarship. Ic an't type
well enough to set it all for you eher,.
And if you read my post again, you will note that I am not saying Paul said
it at all, I am agreeing with the current scholarship which says that Paul
responsed to a quote.
Best regards,
Ann Nyland
