2. πρᾶγμα (pragma)
Something improper or disgraceful (in a moral or social sense). This could imply anything ranging from immorality to a serious fault in behavior or condition.
Looks like you pasted the same definition. This would be a "a matter, activity, business, etc."

Re: English irregular verbs and Greek stem changes

The "oddballs" tend to be in the more commonly used words, such as the copulatives. I read once that this occurs because of persistent use, the "old" verbs hang on to the "old" conjugations while the lesser-used verbs tend easier towards simplification ... since languag...

Re: Is there an historical sigma involved in ἱημι ?

Wiktionary is your friend for these etymological inquiries: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E1%BC%B5%CE%B7%CE%BC%CE%B9 Basically, there's no historical sigma, but an historical yod, which also evanesces in similar ways. Thanks for this. It makes sense. (Of course, just because it makes sense does n...

Re: Barthélemy - The Precursors of Aquila

It doesn't bother me. I just ignore the posts for books that are not in my current interest.

Re: Stromata 2.15.70.3-4

Thank you for the reply. I need to think about this more; probably in the broader context as you mentioned. Yes, the end result is supposed to be a reconciliation, prompted by the "kindness" of a pardon that is extended before it is "deserved." I do get that point; but the langua...

Stromata 2.15.70.3-4

I am not successfully wrapping my brain around this text in the Stromata. The ANF translation doesn't help, but I ran it through ChatGPT and its translation at least makes some sense. I am trying to understand the sentence about "forgiveness is not constituted as pardon, but rather as a healing...
