Hi!
Thanks for clearing up the problem with DIA DEKATESSARWN ETWN. The
translation which didn't say 'after fourteen years' translates most
idioms literally (Green's Literal Translation) and had 'through fourteen
years'.
So is it definitely or only probably an idiomatic usage here? Is it
possible it could mean 'during fourteen years'? I was looking at 1:18,
EPEITA META (TRIA ETH / ETH TRIA) ANHLQON EIS hIEROSOLUMA, is it just
for variety both a different verb and a different phrase are used? Or
does DIA+genitive of time always mean 'after'?
EN CRISTWi
