PATER MOU EI DUNATON ESTI PARELQATW AP’ EMOU TO POTHRION TOUTO
PLHN OUC hWS EGW QELW ALL’ hWS SU
Question: What are the semantic options for OUC hWS EGW QELW ALL’ hWS SU ?
Is there of necessity an expression of contrary wills or desires here?
Are there at least two opposing senses that can be support?
1.
“not as I desire (myself), but (rather) as you (desire).” This expressing
contrary desires.
2.
“not as I desire (only), but as you (also desire).” This being a request for
unity.
Respectfully,
B. J. Williamson
