Mounce quotes this in his grammar. He offers these translations and
theological glosses:

KAI hO LOGOS HN QEOS "and the word was a god" (Arianism)
KAI QEOS HN hO LOGOS "and the word was god" (Orthodoxy)

I know Luther said this, I know Mounce quotes it, but I haven't the
foggiest what evidence there is for this. I looked, but couldn't find such
evidence.
