INstead of San Fransisko wasn’t better to say Agios Fransisko?
Well…bear in mind you are getting answer from a Koine guy. I really liked syntax and exegesis. It was my favorite course. I d Classical, but that was because my prof was impossibly hard. In hindsight, I have fond memories of it, but at the time I didn’t like it at all. I did enjoy the Classical reading however. But all in all, Syntax and Exegesis is where I really learned how the language functions, and the joys of the subordinate clause (and I’m not talking about Mrs. Claus or the Elves)
Well, I asked as much for curiosity as for an ulterior motive.
English is my native language, and I don’t call this city Saint Francis. Besides, I was under the impression that St. Francis was a strictly Catholic saint. I would be somewhat surprised if the Greek Orthodox church had a Franciscan order.
Once u transformed the name of ur city in the greek version i thought it would be interesting ti transform it in corpore, to translate it.
No, the Orthodox Church has no saint with this name-i am an orthodox- but not this was the ideea
(GGG, excuse the irrelevance with the thread’s theme)
Apart from the Orthodox Church, a Greek Catholic Church also exists. Most of the followers live in the island of Syros, where is also an active catholic monastery, i think of the franciscan order. So, there is a greek name for San Fransisco: ?γιος Φ?αγκίσκος. Less “legitimate”, grecofied names of american cities are for example ?έα Ὑό?κη, ?έα ὑε?σέη etc.
