In Mark 14:12, how should ὅτε τὸ πάσχα ἔθυον be understood?

[Mark 14:12 MGNT] (12) καὶ τῇ πρώτῃ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν ἀζύμων ὅτε τὸ πάσχα ἔθυον λέγουσιν αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ποῦ θέλεις ἀπελθόντες ἑτοιμάσωμεν ἵνα φάγῃς τὸ πάσχα It seems that imperfect of πάσχα with the singular of ἔθυον is normally taken to be describing the custom that the Passover was killed on the f...

Re: Is this a legitimate translation of Hebrews 1:8?

In Deuteronomy 12:5 lxx, what is the sense of ἐκλέξηται?

Logeion parses this as an aorist middle subjunctive 3rd singular of ἐκλέγω: https://logeion.uchicago.edu/morpho/%E1%BC%90%CE%BA%CE%BB%CE%AD%CE%BE%CE%B7%CF%84%CE%B1%CE%B9 What is that, (to my mind, convoluted) construction communicating? Thanks. Note: This was brought up on another site, here: https:...

Okay, so I found this in Liddell: θεός , ὁ, Boeot. θιός , Lacon. σιός (v. infr.), Cypr., Cret. θιός Inscr.Cypr.135.27 H., Leg.Gort.1.1, Dor. also θεύς Call.Cer.58; acc. θεῦν v.l. ib.130; voc.

Re: Is this a legitimate translation of Hebrews 1:8?

Well that's a confusing entry, then: Adjective θεός • (theós) divine (used only in comparative: θεώτερος (theṓteros)) If that is the case (and I suppose you are right) then my original question is moot. Interestingly, the JPS has this for the Hebrew: JPS Psalms 45: 7 Your throne, O judge, [will exis...

So basically, in Koine, the "nominative" form can equally be nominative, adjective and vocative, with context being necessary in order to identify which is intended? @Bill - I'm so sorry. I meant to quote your message, but I edited it by mistake. I deleted the rest of your message about Ra...
