Correct. The word is hetaeria, a loanword from the Greek ἑταιρεία.

Re: Indisputable Historical Facts About Early Christianity
I'm unsure of where the patristics fall on this: anyone know? I know I have come across references to nomina sacra in manuscripts of the church fathers. Recently, for example, I became aware that Latin manuscripts of Cyprian bear nomina sacra . What I do not know is whether the practice was as univ...

Re: Hegesippus vis-a-vis "James son of Alphaeus" and "Judas of James" in Luke-Acts
Also, I don't see that Hegesippus said anything to directly contradict my reading of the James of Acts 15 being James, son of Alphaeus. James the Just worked "in the assembly with the apostles" is all Hegesippus says. Am I missing something? I do not know whether you are missing anything,...

Re: The tetrarchies in Luke 3.1-2.
But is Luke 3:1-2 really dependent on Matthew, or rather is Matthew 14:1 dependent on Luke 3:1? It seems to me that it is more likely that Matthew 14:1 draws from Luke 3:1, which would show that this was a part of proto-Luke, from which Matthew derived his Gospel. Why do you think that direction is...

Re: Indisputable Historical Facts About Early Christianity
12: The Gospel of John is by far the most popular of the NT material that we have at 32 copies. gMatthew is a close second at 24. Then it is Acts at 17, then gLuke and Romans at 12, then Hebrews at 10, Then 1 Corinthians 8, Revelation 7, then 2 Corinthians, Ephesians, and James at 5 each. Then you ...

Re: Secret Mark, GRS Mead and Morton Smith
When you have a moment Ben do be a dear and attempt to summarize the relevant arguments I overlooked which point to Smith specifically as the forger. What good would that do? When I name an argument which has been used which does not appear on your list, you have three options: either (A) say, &quo...

Re: Secret Mark, GRS Mead and Morton Smith
The argument for forgery runs something like this: 1. nothing extraordinary ever happens to anyone 2. Morton Smith discovered something extraordinary 3. the discovery of something extraordinary in a drab boring universe is ground for suspicion that what he found was a forgery 4. forgeries are made ...

Re: Indisputable Historical Facts About Early Christianity
Interesting! Are there any other examples of this with other NS in this text? Yes! The word θεός is reduced to Θ, too. It is a small fragment, so it appears those are the only nomina sacra . Both οὐρανέ and Ἰσραήλ occur in a profane sense, so an abbreviation would not necessarily be expected in tho...
