I have a confession to make. I was so caught up in trying to use a Greek
analytical program called BART (I don't have GRAMCORD) that I failed to look up
what BDAG says about PAS. It says in section f the following:
"PAS and PANTES stand attributively between art. and noun, when the noun is
regarded as a whole, in contrast to its individual parts." They give the
following citations: hO PAS ARIQMOS, TO PAN PLHQOS, EIS TON PANTA BION and even
hOI PANTES ANQRWPOI (X., An. 5,6,7).
And they list the "exceptions" in the NT that you and I found, plus more. My
regard for BDAG has
grown through this little exchange.
Thanks,
