Abstract

[A re-examination of the evidence in case of the two Gothic nouns gakunds (Gal. 5.8) and gakunþs (in the phrase uf gakunpai, Luc. 3.23) yields the result that the former serves to translate π∈ισμοvή in the sense of ‘submission’ or ‘submissiveness’, whereas uf gakunþai is a free rendering ('when he became known') of the Greek participle άρχóμ∈vos (i.e., 'when he began'). Here as elsewhere, Ulfilas proves to be a competent translator from Greek, more so than, e.g., Erasmus or Luther.]
