Re: Zosimus, Historia Nova 3.3.5. "εἰς αὐτοὺς"
Murray and Stephen, the English translation makes no sense -- there's something wrong with it. εἰκότως τοίνυν ὁ καῖσαρ ἀχθόμενος ἐφ’ οἷς τό γε ἧκον εἰς αὐτοὺς ἐκδεδώκασι τοῖς βαρβάροις τοὺς ὁμοφύλους... LSJ has the phrase τό γε ἐπ' αὐτοὺς ἧκον μέρος under the meaning "depends on." That's p...

Re: Reading the Gospel of St Mark in Greek (Greek Edition)
With all due fairness, it seems that neither the publisher nor the author are claiming that you can actually read the Greek without having first studied for a few semesters -- that claim seems to be peculiar to the blog you cited. I have been using "reader editions" of texts for my interme...

Re: Ephesians 2:8 - τοῦτο
Ephesians 2:8 τῇ γὰρ χάριτί ἐστε σεσῳσμένοι διὰ την πίστεων και τοῦτο οὐκ ἐξ ὑμῶν θεοῦ τὸ δῶρον Could τοῦτο refer ahead to δῶρον so that we might read the verse as, "and this (gift) is not of yourselves; the gift is of God." τοῦτο I think here makes better sense as referring to the preced...

Re: Handy GNT for travelling
If you have anything resembling a late model smart phone, Olive Tree has the GNT for a reasonable price. I now carry my GNT plus several translations with me all the time...

Re: I'm Dan (Tucson) and am self-learning Koine Greek - YIKE
Welcome, Dan, good to see you here. Feel free to post any questions, and be sure to read through the various postings -- there's already quite a bit you might find helpful. On pursuing a Classics degree, most graduate programs require both Greek and Latin on matriculation. You might want consider ta...

Re: The terms, "Biblical Greek" and "NT Greek"
Very interesting discussion, folks. A couple of comments: 1) Very simply, I think "biblical Greek" circumscribes a specific body of literature with which most of us are concerned. Carl correctly (as nearly always) points out that since the time of Deissmann it's been canonical :roll: that ...

I am using it as a supplementary textbook for my Greek students, actually.

Re: A Modern English to Attic Greek Lexicon
Ah, yes, Woodhouse, a fine resource for people taking advanced Greek prose composition, or if you are just trying to remember things like "What is the ancient Greek word for floor?" The trick to doing this is first to look it up in Woodhouse, then look the same word up in LSJ and/or BDAG. ...

Re: προς - Acts 27:34
[Acts 27] [34] διο παρακαλω υμας προσλαβειν τροφης τουτο γαρ προς της υμετερας σωτηριας υπαρχει ουδενος γαρ υμων θριξ εκ της κεφαλης πεσειται This is the only instance of "προς" used with a genitive that I found in the new testament, but I am not sure what it means here. Does it fall unde...

Re: 1 Cor 12.16
I think according to LSJ it is not comparative. (http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/morph?l=para&la=greek#lexicon C.III.7) Previously I had never seen "παρα" used this way before so here is my guess of what the whole sentence means: [1 Cor 12] [16] και εαν ειπη το ους οτι ουκ ειμι οφ...
