Hi b-greekers,

The motto of my college alma mater is: docendo discimus (we learn by
teaching).

How would this best be put into Greek?

1) (EN) TWi DIDASKEIN MANQANOMEN (infinitive)

2) DIDASKONTES MANQANOMEN (circumstantial participle)

3) DIDASKONTOS MANQANOMEN (gen. absolute)

I don't think that #3 is even possible. Doesn't the gen. abs. need some
sort of expressed substantive as a subject? I don't know whether
responses should be on- or off-list?

Yours in His grace,
