Re: How do I go about translating Romans 5:6?

I don't think this sequence has much relevance here, except that these examples show that ἔτι can be the last word in a phrase. I agree. But the query gives us examples to examine and check that. We can do the same thing without specifying the following word, and get examples like these, which indi...

Re: How do I go about translating Romans 5:6?

I had exactly this question back in 2012, and there was a great thread on it: https://www.ibiblio.org/bgreek/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1101 FWIW, "ἔτι κατὰ" is not a common sequence. It seems to occur only once in SBLGNT: https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=%22%E1%BC%94%CF%84...

Re: Sophokles, Sophocles, and the OUP

The OUP series titled Greek Tragedy in New Translations introduces what are, for me, new rules governing the representation of Greek names in English. In the Antigone, for example, we meet characters named Kreon and Polyneikes. Is this a convention that we are now expected to observe in whatever we...

Re: Searching for certain story from paterikon.

I can't easily identify a Greek text for this. Do you have reason to believe that it exists? Any clues that might help track it down?

Re: Aorist stem formation

Sigmatic Aorists and Pseudo-Sigmatic Aorists "Pseudo-sigmatic" is a new term and not particularly transparent as there is no sigma left in the form. "Liquid" aorist is the usual term, and as bad as "liquid" is, I see no reason to invent a term even more opaque. I actua...

Re: What next?

I've been considering incorporating the GNT into daily devotions Absolutely. And also, just read and listen, the more the better. If you have YouVersion on your cell phone, you can read and listen at the same time, using a modern pronunciation. Choose "BYZ04". Screenshot_20230818-115259.p...

Also working on Heb...

Re: ξύλον translated as “tree” in Deuteronomy and Acts

Hi, Jonathan. Is it intentional that your post has χ (chi: χύλον ) where everyone is talking about ξ (xi: ξύλον )? For example, when I look up Gen 2:9 from your list, it has ξ : καὶ ἐξανέτειλεν ὁ θεὸς ἔτι ἐκ τῆς γῆς πᾶν ξύλον ὡραῖον εἰς ὅρασιν καὶ καλὸν εἰς βρῶσιν καὶ τὸ ξύλον τῆς ζωῆς ἐν μέσῳ τῷ π...

Cambridge has:

  • Thematic Aorists
  • Root Aorists
