Subject: [B-Greek] Jerusalem inscription
I am wondering if I've got this inscription right and
how to understand a few words.
MHQENA ALLOGENH EISPOREUESQAI ENTOS TOU PERI TO IERON
TRUFAKTOU KAI PERIBALOU OS D AN LHFQH EAUTWI AITIOS
ESTAI DIA TO EXAKOLOUQEIN QANATON
MHQENA: is this the same as MHDENA
Why ENTOS since POREUESQAI is prefixed with EIS?
Why the TOU with PERI?
What is TRUFAKTOU?
How do you parse LHFQH?
