'After Not Many Days' in Acts 1.5 and Its Hellenistic Context

The strange phrase 'after these not many days' has been claimed as a Latinism or Semitism. Searching TLG with Ibycus, I found close Greek parallels. The litotes with prepositive negative can be paral leled in Greek. The other part of the phrase 'these many' seems more strange. Si...

520 |a The strange phrase 'after these not many days' has been claimed as a Latinism or Semitism. Searching TLG with Ibycus, I found close Greek parallels. The litotes with prepositive negative can be paral leled in Greek. The other part of the phrase 'these many' seems more strange.

No single parallel in any language matched the whole phrase but both main components can now be clearly documented in Hellenistic Greek.
