ACTS 17:16 EN DE TAIS AQHNAIS EKDECOMENOU AUTOUS TOU PAULOU
PARWXUNETO TO PNEUMA AUTOU EN AUTWi QEWROUNTOS KATEIDWLON OUSAN THN
POLIN.
Parsons/Culy identify QEWROUNTOS as a genitive absolute. Barrett
(Acts ICC) suggests that the genitive QEWROUNTOS looks back to AUTOU
whereas QEWROUNTI (Byzantine) to AUTWi.
Interesting syntax.
The main clause
PARWXUNETO TO PNEUMA AUTOU EN AUTWi
with three qualifying constituents
EN DE TAIS AQHNAIS
EKDECOMENOU AUTOUS TOU PAULOU
QEWROUNTOS KATEIDWLON OUSAN THN POLIN
Curious that the identity of the main participant TOU PAULOU would be
buried in one of the qualifying constituents.
