Thanks Carl,
Sounds reasonable. However, in 1Enoch EGRHGOROS appears to function in most
contexts as a substantive "The Watchers". This use isn't found in the LXX, I
don't think (see Lam. 4:14).
Anyway, I agree with TWN APO TOU AIWNOS must be attributive to LOGWN.
However, R.H. Charles and Richard Laurence in their translations of the
##Ethiopic## don't don't agree with each other or with us:
R.H. Charles
14:1 The book of the words of righteousness, and of the reprimand of the
eternal Watchers in accordance
Richard Laurence
14:1 This is the book of the word of righteousness, and of the reproof of
the Watchers, who belong to the world . . .
The Ethiopic follows the Greek text fairly closely but I don't have a
translation of the Greek text. Is there one? Perhaps it is time for some one
to do one. Codex Panopolitanus (Charles' edition) is a relatively easy
text. Compared to 2Peter and Jude it is very easy.
Thanks,
Clay
