Hello Folks,
I have examined every instance of paroxytone ESTIN in the NT and I am
satisfied that I can explain its use in every case except Rev 17:18.
KAI hH GYNH HN EIDES E/STIN hH POLIS hH MEGALH hH EXOUSA BASILEIAN EPI
TWN BASILEWN THS GHS.
In vss 8, 10 and 11 as well as in 21:1 the reason for the accented penult
is apparent: E/STIN is existential. But it certainly is not in 17:18. So
my question is: Why did the editors choose to accent E/STIN as
paroxytone?
Yours in His grace,
