I was reading the first part of an NT book just for whim. To see how far I can go before I get knocked down.
John 1:35

[face=SPIonic]Th=? e)pau/rion pa/lin i(sth/kei )Iwa/nhj kai\ e)k tw=n maqhtw=n au)tou= du/o,[/face]

Attic pluperfect, 3rd. sg. of [face=SPIonic]i(/sthmi[/face] is [face=SPIonic]ei(sth/kei[/face]. Perseus has no morphological link for this occurrence. Is it a common variation in koine?

[Bert]

Mine reads [face=SPIonic]ei(sth/kei[/face]

[mingshey]

Er, a Perseus typo?

P.S.
Hmm, yes the other online versions read [face=SPIonic]ei(sth/kei[/face], too.

NA27 also says [face=SPIonic]ei(sthkei[/face]

[mingshey]

I wondered what NA27 meant. Now I see it stands for Nestle-Aland(i.e. their Novum Testamentum Graece), which I keep a copy of. I'll be checking it out when I go home. I find a quote of NA26, too, on the web. The numbers must be representing different editions.

[mingshey]

The perseus has an Westcott and Hort edition of NT. And another site that presents this edition has [face=SPIonic]ei(sth/kei[/face], too.
Definitely a typo. I'll be reporting this to Perseus.

[klewlis]

yes, the numbers represent editions, and 27 is the latest... it's about... 3 years old? 4? I'm not sure. :)

yay for finding a typo in perseus! that deserves an award or something. A friend of mine thought that he found a typo in NA27 once and was all excited... but when we researched it further we found that it wasn't a typo afterall... he was pretty disheartened. lol.
