Schulschlus Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 From BBG by Mounce, a warmup exercise. (p.23) τοῖς υἱοῖς τῷ πονηροῖς Why is the second article Dat Singular, while the adjective is dative plural? Is this a mistake or something I just don't understand? It is the same in the print edition, so I know it is not a mistake by accordance, so I probably just don't understand the concept. (The solution shows "to the wicked sons") Help would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald Cobb Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Based on the translation that's proposed, I would say it's definitely an error. "To the wicked sons" should be τοῖς υἱοῖς τοῖς πονηροῖς. The dative singular makes no sense here.

R. Mansfield Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Maybe @Bill Mounce would want to confirm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
