ACTS 18:18 hO DE PAULOS ETI PROSMEINAS hHMERAS hIKANAS TOIS ADELFOIS  
APOTAXAMENOS EXEPLEI EIS THN SURIAN, KAI SUN AUTWi PRISKILLA KAI  
AKULAS, KEIRAMENOS EN KEGCREAIS THN KEFALHN, EICEN GAR EUCHN.

Parsons & Culy take TOIS ADELFOIS with PROSMEINAS hHMERAS hIKANAS.  
Bruce (NICNT Acts 2nd ed) joins TOIS ADELFOIS with APOTAXAMENOS.  
APOTASSW frequently takes a dative argument, see  Danker's 3rd page  
123 under APOTASSW. Barrett (Acts ICC) solves the dilema by not  
translating TOIS ADELFOIS at all!

I don't see any textual variants that support Barrett's decision,  
furthermore I would expect Culy who appears to be a generative  
linguist to at least give some comment on his decison since the focus  
of Parsons & Culy is syntax.
