Footnotes

  1. 94 Grk “Having inflicted many blows on them.” The participle ἐπιθέντες (epithentes) has been taken temporally. ἐπιτίθημι 1.a.β has “inflict blows upon someone” for this expression, but in this context it is simpler to translate in English as “they had beaten them severely.”
  2. 95 Grk “commanding.” The participle παραγγείλαντες (parangeilantes) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
