I would like to take another look at an issue which has already been discussed in this forum to some extent:
Since this a clear example of an hendiadys with οὐδέ I wonder why 1Tim 2:12 cannot be a hendiadys as well. Phil Payne suggested something like:Andrew Chapman wrote:I just found what seems to be an example of hendiadys with οὐδέ. I don't mean of course that this has anything much to do with 1 Timothy 2.12, but it's interesting to me that it can do this, in much the same way as καὶ, it seems to me:
τῶν δὲ θηρίων βιασαμένων εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν, οὐ δυνάμενοι τὸ βάρος οὐδὲ τὴν ἔφοδον οἱ πολέμιοι μεῖναι πάντες ἐξέπεσον ἐκ τῆς στρατοπεδείας. [Polybius Hist. 1.74.5.3]
When the elephants forced their way into the camp, the enemy unable to face the weight of their attack all evacuated it. [Loeb]

12 διδάσκειν δὲ γυναικὶ οὐκ ἐπιτρέπω, οὐδὲ αὐθεντεῖν ἀνδρός,
I do not allow a woman to teach (in combination with) exercising authority over a man.
Since οὐδὲ is used to form an hendiadys in other cases this does not seem impossible. Or am I wrong?
