Declension
[edit]The noun appears in Romans 9:4 and Romans 11:1 as if it was still a Greek noun, with a nominative plural πΉπππ°π΄π»π΄πΉππ°πΉ (israΔleitai) and nominative singular πΉπππ°π΄π»π΄πΉππ΄π (israΔleitΔs), but in Corinthians II 11:22 the word is only attested with an apparently Gothic nominative plural πΉπππ°π΄π»π΄πΉππ΄πΉπ (israΔleiteis) (see also πππ°πΏππ΄ππ΄π (praufΔtΔs) for a similar declension). Given the paucity of attestations it is difficult to explain this disparity, but some conjectures can be made. The attestations in Romans are from Codex Ambrosianus A, whereas the attestation in Corinthians is from Codex Ambrosianus B. It is possible that different scribes copied from a different source text, or that one scribe was more influenced by the Greek text than the other, or that the spelling inconsistency was already present in an earlier source from which both manuscripts were copied. Whatever the explanation may be, the confusion makes the declension difficult to deduce.
