Gospel of Peter 10 (line 10 in Swete; v. 46 in Mara) has:

APOKRIQEIS hO PEILATOS EFH EGW KAQAREUW TOU hAIMATOS TOU hUIOU TOU QEOU, hUMIN
DE TOUTO EDOCEN.

Does anyone have any good ideas about how to translate the last clause? M.R.
Swete renders "but this was your pleasure" in his translation. In his notes he
has "the sentence was yours, not mine": compare Matt. 26.66: TI hUMIN DOKEI."
M. R. James has "but thus it seemed good unto you". BAGD do list "it seems
best to me, I decide" as possible for DOKEW but only in the category "with
infinitive following" (e.g. Luke 1.3).

Grateful for any input,

Mark
