Re: ὑπερβυτεροι

Good detective work there, Jean :D Fascinating to see that three of these (1-3) result in the omission of the οι (= υ), and then essentially the replacement of the preposition περι with υπερ (both of which have semantic crossovers). The 4th one just seems to be a pronunciation/spelling error (υ > οι...

Re: ὑπερβυτεροι

Thanks for doing some checking on my behalf, Jonathan. As you will well know (so I'm repeating for those that might not), manuscripts post pretty much the 1st century CE start having sound confusions resulting in spelling differences (our beloved itacisms ). The copyist of Min. 127 seems to have bee...

ὑπερβυτεροι

Currently transcribing the Gospel of Mark in one of the numerous GNT minuscule manuscripts (127), and came upon this curious substitution for πρεσβύτεροι in Mark 14:53. Never seen this before, and as there's nothing in LSJ (or any Greek lexicon), nor the vast array of online search engines, I'm gues...

Re: Matthew 26:17 δὲ not 'on'?

You'll likely find that most English translations haven't bothered to translate the particle δὲ, due to it functioning as a way to connect one clause to another in simple continuation. As per BDAG: δέ (Hom.+) one of the most common Gk. particles, used to connect one clause to another, either to expr...

Brill Summer Sale - 50% off

Just received an email advising Brill/De Gruyter are doing a 50% off sale for the summer (however long that may last). If you want a title from Brill/De Gruyter, this might be your only chance to get it at a much more reasonable price (I've just ordered two titles). https://www2.brill.com/e/319031/s...

Re: 3 Corinthians, adding accents and punctuation marks

Excellent, Philip - thanks for the links to the images! I'm not sure where the μ at the end of προοδ(οι)πορουντων appears to have come from: current image shows no trace of another letter near the end of the line on page 045. Interestingly it also looks like the nomen sacrum ΚΥ is a correction from ...

Re: 3 Corinthians, adding accents and punctuation marks

What is the Greek textual basis for 3 Corinthians? Are the earliest manuscripts Armenian? Tell me about BP10 ... Probably best to start here from the ever resourceful Brent Nongbri (who I truly believe should be a private detective): https://brentnongbri.com/2017/09/24/the-bodmer-papyri-an-inventor...

Re: 3 Corinthians, adding accents and punctuation marks

It's προοδοιπορούντων: εἴ τις παραβαίνει ταῦτα τὸ πῦρ ἐστι μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ τῶν οὕτως προοδοιπορούντων ἀθέων ἀνθρώπων, οἵτινες γεννήματα ἐχιδνῶν εἰσίν, οὓς ἀποτρέπεσθε ἐν τῇ τοῦ κυρίου δυνάμει. καὶ ἔστω μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν εἰρήνη. So that is either a misreading or misspelling in the BP10 with the μ at the end. ...

Re: 3 Corinthians, adding accents and punctuation marks

FWIW, a quick Google search for "θ ε conflation scribal errors" brings up this: https://zooniverseancientlives.wordpress.com/2013/05/06/scribal-error-in-biblical-manuscripts/ ::SNIP:: Indeed, not a bad response from ChatGPT. Can also include the phonetic itacisms and like-sounding or writ...

Re: 3 Corinthians, adding accents and punctuation marks

Are there images of BP10 anywhere? Would be great to actually check up on this, as I'm not fully convinced the transcription is reflective of the text in the manuscript (ΑΝΝΩΝ whilst could be dittography for the double Ν, the dot underneath the second N in the other transcription I've found makes me...
