TON FAILONHN hON APELIPON EN TRWiADI PARA KARPWi ERCOMENOS FERE

 

When you come, bring the cape I left behind in Troas at Carpus's house. 2
Tim. 4:13a

 

Two things: 1. Is "cape" a reasonable contemporary rendering of FAILONHS?
"Cloak", the typical rendering, doesn't really connote anything but "cape"
to me. And I'd never use "cloak" as a noun. Does the word suggest a certain
shape of garment? 2. PARA KARPWi looks like chez Carpus to me. Or does it
have to mean literally in Carpus's hands?

 

Thanks for any wisdom,
