The Semantic Field of the Construction "δοκέω + εἶναι" in Gal 2:9 in the Context of the Biblical Terminology

Papp György: The Semantic Field of the Construction "δοκέω + εἶναι" in Gal 2:9 in the Context of the Biblical Terminology. In: Benyik György (ed.): Die Galater und der Brief an die Galater. Szeged: Szegedi Nemzetközi Biblikus Konferencia Alapítvány 2022. 293-304

The purpose of this short paper is to analyse the semantic field of the grammatical structure "δοκέω + εἶναι" which appears to be translated in various and ambiguous ways. Therefore, I invite the reader to a short philological adventure during which we will try to unfold the semantical field of the grammatical structure “οἱ δοκοῦντες στῦλοι εἶναι” used in Gal 2,9, and I try to find an answer to the following question: what does this characterisation exactly mean?
