Footnotes

  1. 35 Grk “And after.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.
  2. 36 Grk “they”; the referent (the city officials) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  3. 37 That is, “a payment” or “a pledge of security” ( ἱκανός 1) for which “bail” is the most common contemporary English equivalent.
