.... are we to think that there was an "ingens multitudo" of chreston sniffers? Have a look at one collation of the literary and epigraphic sources of "Chrestian" [χρηστιανος] and "Christian" [χριστιανος] in Antiquity. http://www.mountainman.com.au/essenes/chrestians%2...

Thanks again, David. The longer and shorter versions seem closer for this one. Yes, there was one extra section in chapter 3, but it was one of the longer version's frequent quotes from scripture, much like the one already included just a little earlier in chapter 3.3, which really didn't require a...

Σύγγνωτέ μοι, I have attached a PDF of my Greek-English comparison of the shorter and longer forms of the epistle of Ignatius to the Romans. Since it is 4:30 in the morning, I have not tried to compare the English renderings to the English translation of the Syriac form of the letter, like I did wit...

Also, I am attaching a copy of the Greek text (unfortunately, not Unicode, but could be recognized by Abby or another OCR program). Pick up the text of interest at page 224 ...

Strong's is a bad source. Use better sources. Firstly MrMacSon used Strong and that was why I was using it. Secondly what internet source would you suggest as better? You can copy Unicode text (in Greek) and past it to your browser search window, and follow it with the word "Perseus". The...

Stephan, It seems to me that "libraries" as we think of them (a vast repository of general reading materials that the general public can check out at will) just didn't exist. The closest analogue to general collections might be a University/College library where your ability to check out m...

There is a reference to the letters of a sacred name for G-d in an early Jewish magical text, Sepher Ha Razim , which is dated no earlier than 297 CE (per Mordecai Margalioth) to as late as 6th or 7th century CE (per Ithamar Gruenwald): I adjure you by the One who measured the waters in the palm of ...
