Colleagues:
I share with Carl Conrad a weariness with and suspicion of the
multiplication of categories by many of those writing grammars of
the Greek in the NT (Carl calls them "Koine grammarians"!), and I
almost believe his suggestion that many use the anti-Ockham motto,
ENTIA MULTIPLICANDA PRAETER NECESSITATEM!
On "accusative of result," however, even standard classical grammars use
the category. Smyth-Messing gives "Accusative of Result" as a major
heading (p. 357), devoting sections 1578 and 1579 to it.
On EIS with the accusative (p. 376), S-M lists four usages:
a. Local;
b. Temporal;
c. Measure and Limit with numerals;
d. Other relations: Goal, Purpose, Intention; Relation to; Manner.
[NB: Purpose, but not Result]
