Re: γυμνὸς or γυμνοὶ in Clement's Letter to Theodore?
I'm willing to say that the issue of ligatures can, once again, be dropped. There is a possible concern with discussing it much further. While there's no logical reason to think that defusing a weak argument acts as a support for the opposite conclusion, that's not quite how we're wired to think. De...

Morton Smith regarding the Writer/Copyist
Morton Smith makes a number of observations regarding the circumstances of the 18th century copyist: Clement of Alexandria, p. 2 That the writer was a scholar is also shown by his spelling.

Re: γυμνὸς or γυμνοὶ in Clement's Letter to Theodore?
Given the current state of the discussion in this thread regarding the shape of the letter based on the images shared, where the images of the letter itself have been considered by several participants to be insufficient to resolve the question definitely, a reasonable next stage of discussion is to...

Re: Jesus' home in Capernaum?
It's possible that Ephraem attributes 'Bethsaida' here to the Diatessaron, which is a primary focus of his commentary, and that the remarks on Marcion here regard other aspects.

Re: Jesus' home in Capernaum?
Klinghardt, Matthias. The Oldest Gospel: A Missing Link in New Testament Scholarship, Kindle Edition I noticed something when reading a footnote of Couchcloud--he says that in Ephram's copy of the Evangelion has "Bethsaida" here instead of Nazara or Nazareth. Curiouser and curiouser. Here...

Re: Carrier - Goodacre conversation on the historicity of Jesus
How so?

Cyril of Jerusalem (pseudo?), Discourse on Mary Theotokos [ca. 4th/5th century] ... And that monk replied, ‘It is written in | the [Gospel] to the Hebrews that when Christ wished to come upon the earth to men the Good Father called a mighty "power" in the heavens which was called * Michael...
