Re: Matthew 10.29
I would also like to ask if "ἄνευ τοῦ πατρὸς ὑμῶν" is standard Greek or possibly an Aramaicism. In this case, could the meaning of the underlying Aramaic aid in translation? If there was an Aramaic original for Matthew, we do not have it. If I read a German text that is translated from En...

Re: Matthew 10.29
My question is about the phrase "ἄνευ τοῦ πατρὸς ὑμῶν" ("without your Father"). The translations are divided between "without your Father's will" and "without your Father's knowledge". I would like to know whether both ideas are possible and, if so, if there ...

Re: How do I go about translating Romans 5:6?
I don't think this sequence has much relevance here, except that these examples show that ἔτι can be the last word in a phrase. I agree. But the query gives us examples to examine and check that. We can do the same thing without specifying the following word, and get examples like these, which indi...

Re: How do I go about translating Romans 5:6?
I had exactly this question back in 2012, and there was a great thread on it: https://www.ibiblio.org/bgreek/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1101 FWIW, "ἔτι κατὰ" is not a common sequence. It seems to occur only once in SBLGNT: https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=%22%E1%BC%94%CF%84...

Re: Sophokles, Sophocles, and the OUP
The OUP series titled Greek Tragedy in New Translations introduces what are, for me, new rules governing the representation of Greek names in English. In the Antigone, for example, we meet characters named Kreon and Polyneikes. Is this a convention that we are now expected to observe in whatever we...

Re: Searching for certain story from paterikon.
I can't easily identify a Greek text for this. Do you have reason to believe that it exists? Any clues that might help track it down?

Re: Aorist stem formation
Sigmatic Aorists and Pseudo-Sigmatic Aorists "Pseudo-sigmatic" is a new term and not particularly transparent as there is no sigma left in the form. "Liquid" aorist is the usual term, and as bad as "liquid" is, I see no reason to invent a term even more opaque. I actua...
