Notwithstanding the learned and helpful information which was posted---which
I will wade through, I would like to know whether PENTHEROS, meaning
"father-in-law," or more to my point, "one connected by marriage," has a)
ever been posited as a possible inspiration for the fabrication of the Roman
soldier Panthera, or b) seems to be a viable explanation. Joseph himself
would have been a PENTHEROS of his stepson Jesus (through marriage). Am I
making sense now?
