Patrick A. Tiller 54 2 Cor 11:5 Logizomai ga;r mhde;n uJsterhkevnai tw'n uJperlivan ajpostovlwn. v I-consider for nothing to-have-been-inferior to-the super apostles. For I do not consider that I have been at all inferior to the greatest apostles. It is now necessary to define the rule for logophoric pronouns more precisely. As the following examples show, the concept of logophors must be defined rather narrowly. In the first place, not all complement infini- tives are logophoric 16. 1 Th 4:9 peri; de; th`~ filadelfiva~ ouj creivan e]cete gravfein uJmi`n: concerning but the brotherly-love not need you-have to-write to-you; But concerning brotherly love, you have no need for anyone to write to you. Not even pronouns that are co-referent with the objects of logophoric verbs or the subjects of verbs of hearing are logophoric. 21 Eph 4:21-22 ei] ge aujto;n hjkouvsate kai; ejn aujtw'/ ejdidavcqhte If indeed him you-have-heard and in him you-were-taught ... 22 apoqesqai uJma`~ ... to;n palaio;n a]nqrwpon ... j v to-put-off you ... the old person ... If indeed you have heard him and have been taught in him (for you) to put off the old person The meaning is not entirely clear, but it is clear that uJma`~ (‘you’) is the subject of the infinitive and co-referent with subject of the matrix verb. If the matrix verb had been a verb of saying or thinking (instead of a verb of hearing), the pronoun would have been reflexive. Secondly, logophoric verbs do not include verbs that indicate what is in the mind of the subject as a potentiality. Verbs such as ‘hope for’, ‘ask for’, and ‘command’ are not logophoric. In the next example the accu- sative subject of the complement infinitive is a personal pronoun although it is co-referent with the subject of the matrix verb of saying or thinking. Acts 25:21 tou` de; Pauvlou ejpikalesamevnou thrhqh`nai aujto;n eij~ th;n tou` the but Paul having-appealed to-be-kept him for the of-the Sebastou` diavgnwsin, ... Emperor decision, ... But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the Emperor’s deci- sion ... 16 It is precisely at this point that Blass’s observations fail to adequately distinguish between the use of personal and reflexive pronouns in infinitival clauses.
