Re: κολοβοδάκτυλος
... 'Hippolytus' , Refut .7.30.1 : "When, therefore, Marcion, or any of his dogs, shall bay against the Demiurge, bringing forward arguments from the comparison of good and evil, they should be told that neither the apostle Paul nor 'short-measure' Mark reported these things — for none of them...

Re: κολοβοδάκτυλος
I can't believe that no one has suggested this before. κολοβοδάκτυλος means "truncated-length" (or "short-measured") κολοβός = cut [curtailed, docked, truncated, undersized, short] δάκτυλος = [a] measure [a finger-width; as well as a finger (or toe) per se ] The measures of Hero...

https://biblehub.com/interlinear/mark/2.htm and https://biblehub.com/greek/oiko__3624.htm That phrase "ἐν οἴκῳ ἐστίν" rendered in the interlinear as "in (the)-house he-is" (I added dashes). The noun "house" is in the nominative case, so it doesn't necessarily mean &quo...

Are you referring to the account of Markos the Valentinian in book 6, sections 39ff and/or the account of Marcion in book 7? 39 .1. ... Markos was an expert in magic. He deceived many people by practicing some feats by trickery, and others by demons. This fool used to declare that there was in him t...

Re: Personification of Group Dynamics: Mishmarot Problem or Christian?
` He who comes after me ranks before me, for he was before me . ' I wonder if this reflects the heresiologists attempts to portray Jesus's predominance and priority in the same way they [now] seem to have been rewriting history to give proto-catholic orthodoxy priority over the so-called non-orthod...

Re: ἀνασταυροῦντας in Hebrews 6:6
The term with the prefix ana- was used in pre-xian times for suspending or attaching a body to a stake or wooden instrument.

So far the best explanation I've heard is that ΙΣ with a bar over it is the original first nomina sacra ... I'm pretty sure that the first nomina sacra were for Lord and God/Theos (or the...

Re: Doubting again about the Baptist Passage in Josephus...
I've seen an argument somewhere that the relevant passage - τὸν ἀδελφὸν Ἰησοῦ τοῦ λεγομένου Χριστοῦ - is simply a combination of Gal 1:19 and 2-3 passages in G.John and G.Matthew τὸν ἀδελφὸν Ἰησοῦ in Ant 20.200/9.1 cf. τὸν ἀδελφὸν τοῦ Κυρίου in Gal 1:19 τοῦ λεγομένου Χριστοῦ in Ant 20.200/9.1 and in...
