Footnotes
- 90 The participle καθίσας (kathisas) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
- 91 The first illustration involves checking to see if enough funds exist to build a watchtower. Both ψηφίζω (psēphizō, “compute”) and δαπάνη (dapanē, “cost”) are economic terms.
