Re: A Question about case ending

I thought I'd see what Bing Chat would do with this question. Here's its reply: Hello, this is Bing. I can help you with your question about Greek case endings. 😊 A case is a grammatical category that indicates the function of a noun, pronoun, or adjective in a sentence. For example, the nominative ...

Re: Searching for certain story from paterikon.

I am looking for an original Greek text (and English version of it, if exists) of the live of Jacob the Feaster, saint of the early church. Unfortunately, I have only Slavonic text from the Patericon by Dmitry Rostovsky (https://azbyka.ru/otechnik/Dmitrij_Rostovskij/zhitija-svjatykh/210#note1726) w...

Do the συν/εν/λεγω συ readings show up in the ECM-Apparatus?

Re: τι εμοι/ημιν και συ

about 20% of all transcribed Mss. have συ instead of σοι.... Might there be some reason, why this reading doesn‘t show up in the ECM-Apparatus? It could be a spelling mistake. συ and σοι sounded the same for some scribes. For example, in Codex Sinaiticus, scribe B has υ for οι in the following plac...

Re: Analytical lexicon inquiry (physical book)

I have attached the first part of it and am looking for feedback. One thing I am wondering is if it is too detailed. Any comments? analytical.pdf Very impressive! I'd note that typically verse lists use a semicolon when the chapter changes. In biblical references, a colon normally separates chapter...

Re: Online parsing tool?

My question here is, can anyone recommend a good (and easy to use!) online parsing tool where I could type in a Greek word form and the site would identify the underlying word and parse it like Mounce does? I'm thinking of a tool that would cover not just Koine but also classical Greek as I've been...

Re: Chat GPT and Koine Greek

Do you see these becoming useful tools that can provide reliable data consistently for beginner/intermediate folk in the near future? Or something that will require careful filtering for bad data for foreseeable future and therefore more of a risk than a benefit? Yes and no. One way they can help t...

Re: Chat GPT and Koine Greek

ChatGPT-4's response is in sharp contrast to ChatGPT-3.5's hallucination, which was: This is actually a passage from the ancient Greek play "Agamemnon" by Aeschylus, and it is not a poem in the traditional sense. It is a dialogue between the chorus and the character Clytemnestra, who is sp...

And what ChatGPT-4 can do with the same prompt: This poem is written in Ancient Greek, and it appears to be an invocation or prayer to a divine being.

While we're at it, here's a sample of what Bing Chat can do: Me: What does Γράφει δὲ καὶ ὡς ὅτι μέχρι καὶ αὐτοῦ χαρίσματα προφητικὰ διέλαμπεν ἐπὶ τῆς ἐκκλησίας, μέμνηταί τε τῆς Ἰωάννου Ἀποκαλύψεως, σαφῶς τοῦ ἀποστόλου αὐτὴν εἶναι λέγων· καὶ ῥητῶν δέ τινων προφητικῶν μνημονεύει, διελέγχων τὸν Τρύφωνα...
