Here is fourth century monastic text:

...YUCHN KARTWN hUPOMONHS EMPLHSQHSESQAI PROSDOKOUSAN...

Does anyone have an idea why the *future* passive infinitive EMPLHSQHSESQAI
is used? The text would be perfectly intelligibile with an aorist passive
infinitive: "...a soul that expects to be filled with the fruits of
patience..."

Any thought? Any references I could look up?

Thanks,
Mark DelCogliano
