Do you think this is a dative absolute in Mat 8:23. If so why use this
instead of a genitive absolute as Mat often does? What is the peculiar
function of the dative absolute? Does it emphasize some temporal element
more clearly, i.e. "When he embarked..."? Is this properly a dative
absolute, or is there a better category like Attenuating Circumstances?
