Re: σαυτοῦ
Hi Stephen, I looked up σαυτο and σεαυτο in the TLG, and basically it occurs twice in classical authors (apart from some fragments) - in Euripides and in Aesop's fables - and twice in grammarians discussing the Euripides case: Euripides, fragment 693 (Nauck) εἶα δή, [φίλον] ξύλον, ἔγειρέ μοι σεαυτὸ ...

Colossians 1:11 κατὰ τὸ κράτος τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ
11 ἐν πάσῃ δυνάμει δυναμούμενοι κατὰ τὸ κράτος τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ εἰς πᾶσαν ὑπομονὴν καὶ μακροθυμίαν μετὰ χαρᾶς, The preacher at a day conference at St Aldates Oxford a couple of weeks ago said that the usual translation 'according to His glorious power' is wrong and that it should be 'according to the...

Re: σαυτοῦ
Thanks, Stephen. I am sorry, I muddied the waters somewhat with my faulty memory. The example of σαυτοῦ in the neuter I was thinking of turned out to be the entry in Liddell and Scott which gives: φίλον ξύλον, ἔγειρέ μοι σεαυτὸ καὶ γίγνου θρασύ [E.Fr. 693] Being in the accusative case, it's gender i...

Re: σαυτοῦ
Thanks, Stephen H, that's helpful to look at its component parts. Incidentally, I read somewhere that σαυτοῦ or σεαυτοῦ is not unknown in the neuter - when speaking to a τέκνον, for example.
Stephen C, I think he might admit to being a little rusty in his Greek..

Re: σαυτοῦ
It has been suggested to me by an academic who is defending the notion that τὸ σαυτοῦ ποίει is addressed to the woman regarding her maidservant that: "σαυτοῦ is a neuter pronominal adjective modifying the (understood) noun "part" or "responsibility" or whatever general idea ...

Re: Acts 9:33: Was Aeneas one of the saints?
Thanks, Barry. By way of explanation, I am addressing a controversial claim by Joseph Prince that we know for sure that Ananias and Sapphira were not believers because Ananias is called 'a certain man', ἀνὴρ τις, rather than 'a certain disciple'. It turns out that this sort of argument was employed ...

Attributive τὶς an adjective?
I need to give a short definition/description of τὶς for readers who don't know Greek. It's listed in the lexicons as the indefinite pronoun, but I would have thought that it might be called a pronominal adjective when used attributively. I did find one reference to it being termed 'the indefinite p...

Re: διηνεκοῦς ἰατρείας δεῖται
Thanks, Ken, I think I was imagining that there existed an adjective declining like ἀληθής (apart from the accent). So, a partnership not only of life, but of virtue. Thanks.
