Re: John 7:35 - the 'diaspora of the Greeks'
I'm wondering if anyone might have access to the Greek vorlage of the above-mentioned citation from Chrysostom's Homily 50 on gJohn? For any involved/interested in this discussion who don't have access to TLG, here is the page in Migne that it is on: https://books.google.com/books?id=czuFE42hAXoC&a...

Re: John 7:35 - the 'diaspora of the Greeks'
John Chrysostom clearly believes this is a ‘diaspora of the Greeks’ in the literal (partitive) sense. I'm confused how a native speaker of Greek had an understanding that is so far from the modern consensus of Greek scholars. His opinion doesn't seem to warrant any consideration, for some reason. D...

Re: Epistle to Diogenetus
I've noticed that some higher literary texts really like to interleave (for want of a better word) their constituents, as I marked up with the colors below. I don't quite know what to make of it. It's not common in the NT, however. Markovic has a nice article on hyperbaton (Markovic, Daniel. “Hyper...

Re: Greek Grammars on the Articulation of Prepositional Objects
How much the descriptive statements can be separated from "why"? More accurately, how reliable can a description be if it's not understood why it is so? This is related to my previous comment - can it be even observationally accurate if we actually don't know what we observe, and can we k...

Re: Diogenes 4.4 - supported reading and searching of Greek and Latin Texts
Where do I need to install them on my Mac? I already have the Diogenes update itself, but haven't installed it yet. Just install them wherever you want and will be able to find them again. When you set up Diogenes it will have you provide the location of the files. I don't know if this is also true...

Re: Albuquerque on Mark 2:10
It sounds like this is an attempt to mash up linguistic analysis with the new(-ish) fad in Gospels studies, so-called performance criticism. I'm not sure what this interpretation accomplishes other than taking a text that seems pretty straightforward in the narrative and make it really abstract and ...

Re: David Yoon on the Perfect Tense - 1 Cor 7:14
One final thought on Kuhnian "paradigm shifts" and Porter's review (for the record, I think he has many fair points in the brief article; any short review of a multi-authored work of the scope of Greek Verb Revisited will necessarily have to be light on specific disagreements and arguments...

Re: David Yoon on the Perfect Tense - 1 Cor 7:14
Have you read Porter's review in FNT / have any thoughts? https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=E6W ... ed&f=false A few big-picture thoughts: 1. Of course, many of his points are obviously true. Greek Verb Revisited is more like a coalition of voices approaching the issue from a set of loosely s...

Re: ἐν (τῷ) κόσμῳ
I haven't looked at the contexts in which each of these phrases occur yet, but it seems obvious that the Johannine uses in this list all contain the article. Outside of the Johannine writings, we're left with this: Phil 2:15 φαίνεσθε ὡς φωστῆρες ἐν κόσμῳ Col 2:20b τί ὡς ζῶντες ἐν κόσμῳ δογματίζεσθε...
