John 10:10b understanding the clauses

Greek texts such as the New Testament, The Greek Old Testament (Septuagint/LXX), Patristic Greek texts, Papyri, and other Greek writings of the New Testament era. Discussion must focus on the Greek text, not on modern language translations, theological controversies, or textual criticism.

What would παρεχω in that case mean?
Perhaps:

Διόδωρος δὲ παρέχει περισσὸν τοῦ ἀντιλέγειν
Diodoros persists in slandering all the more

παρέχω in the sense of bringing forth or offering the slander. I don't understand Mayser's translation (tut ein Übriges) here, it's not a phrase in my active German vocabulary, it seems to mean "did the rest".

Yes.

"Mayser's translation (tut ein Übriges)"

This means: "Diodoros does something extra"
Montanari has this παρεχω-meaning as [C}, his examples all have an Acc.Obj. (eventually with a final (arthrous) Infinitive)

I would translate the Greek expression with:
"Diodoros does something extra, he will contradict"

FWIW, when I saw a post called "understanding the clauses" from a few days after Christmas, I wondered if it was going to be about these people.

Jean Putmans wrote: January 3rd, 2022, 12:31 pm Mayser did research on the Greek Papyri in Egypt.
The text he quotes is a Letter of a Maron to a Zenon.
So he's looking at this:
Διόδωρος δὲ παρέχει περισσὸν τοῦ ἀντιλέγειν καθ᾽ ἐχάστην ἡμέραν
Mayser says περισσὸν functions as a noun here?
The text of this may be found here, for those of us who have trouble reading that photograph. This reminds me of when I was posting the "Papyrus of the Week..."

Agreed, and it’s why I’m having a hard time seeing the payoff of the alleged alternative.

Here is a nice image of the original papyrus:

http://www.psi-online.it/images/orig/PS ... 00%20r.jpg

The [[ ]] sigla indicates that the text was marked out and the text in the sigla was written above the line as you can clearly see in the image.

"Diodorus kept the works from being completed and continues to offer denials on a daily basis." I would read πέρισον as adverbial here.

Barry,

isn't your Translation mixing the scratched and the replaced text?

I read this Papyrus:

(corrected text:)
Διόδωρος δὲ \ἐνκόμματα ποιεῖ τοῦ μὴ συντελεῖσθαι τὰ ἔργα/
Diodorus kept the works from being completed

replaces:

(Original text:)
Διόδωρος δὲ παρεχει περισσον του αντιλεγειν καθ εκαστην ημεραν
Diodorus continues to offer denials on a daily basis

Questions:
Why "kept" instaed of "keeps"?
Why "continues to offer" : I suppose "to offer" < παρεχει; "continues" < περισσον (???)

I was supplying the translation for both but failed to includ a / or other punctuation to show the distinction. Sorry for not being clearer. It's a first cup of coffee not complete issue... :D

Well, I could justify it be saying that it is contextual based on the previous statements, but it was actually just carelessness on my part. :o "Continues to offer" is a paraphrase of παρέχει πέρισον.

Any way, I just thought I would provide more on the actual papyrus itself, since I think papyri are cool and it's fun to see the original images and so forth. As for the actual issue raised, I've said enough.
