Greek Equivalents of Two Coptic Phrases: CG I, 1.65, 9-10 and CG II,2.43.26

32 H.W. Attridge literal rendering of the Greek indefinite pronoun. That pronoun is often used, both in Classical and Koine Greek, in a special, pregnant sense, i.e., "someone special.15 Such a use makes eminently good sense in this context. Salome asks Jesus, "Who are you, man; as if you were from someone special you have come up on my couch, etc." There is a hint here of the irony often found in Johannine dialogues. Jesus is, in fact, someone quite special, and comes from a very special source, as he goes on to point out. PERKINS SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY HAROLD W. ATTRIDGE 15 Cf.
