Re: χαιρε· σημρον γαρ ὁ θεος ἐγενετο ὁ ἀνθροπος

Another little comment: I wondered whether maybe the present tense would be better in the proposed greeting than the aorist. Patristic biblical exposition is I think normally a matter of appropriation and actualization rather than archaeology. But the aorist is used with "today." E.g., aga...

Re: χαιρε· σημρον γαρ ὁ θεος ἐγενετο ὁ ἀνθροπος

Regarding the use of "today": it seemed to me that this usage must surely be common in homilies on the nativity (and on any feast day, really), so I took a look. A homily ΕΙΣ ΤΗΝ ΓΕΝΝΗΣΙΝ ΤΟΥ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΥ in the pseudo-Athanasian corpus (MPG 28:906) opens thus: Μυστήριον ξένον βλέπω, ἀντὶ ἡλίου...

Re: Acts 2:4, the article with the/a holy spirit

If you have the time and are interested, you might check out some earlier B-greekers on this question: Athenasius of Alexandria, Epistulae ad Serapionem de Spiritu Sancto; Basil of Caesarea, De Spiritu Sancto.

Re: Oecumenius - Ad Thess 457.7ff

Re: Funk BIGHG

Sounds like you're all set. I was surprised when he told me Polebridge was planning a new edition because I thought that was what y'all were doing. In the normal course of things I never see the Polebridge folk--just kind of fell into their booth at SF.
