Hi all:
1 Clem 2.1: KAI PROSECONTES TOUS LOGOUS AUTOU EPIMELWS ENESTERNISMENOI
HTE TOIS SPLAGCNOIS.
My question concerns ENESTERNISMENOI HTE. My sense is that it is a
periphrastic construction. If so, it would be equivalent to a finite
pluperfect. My only hesitation is based on the word order. It seems to
me that the common construction is verb followed by participle, though I
found some exceptions in the NT (Matt. 22.8; John 1.24; Acts 1.17;
20.13). BAGD also seems to take this as a periphrastic construction. Can
anyone think of any other options? When taken this way, the sentence
seems somewhat awkward, though not by any means unintelligible.
