What about understanding the personal pronoun with a dative subject of
dative absolute participle construction in (Mt. 8:23)? EMBANTI AUTWi "when
he embarked..." Is the second AUTWi to be taken as the direct object of
HKOLOUQHSAN "when he embarked in the boat, they followed him."
Any thoughts on the substantial MS evidence (aleph; B; C; f1,13; 33)that
supports the omission of the definite article "a boat"? Is it an issue of
grammatical connection with Luke 8:22. I know it is not germane to our
dative issue, but since I have your attention, I thought I'd ask.
Thank You
