Cousins

[Paul Younan]

Acts 23:16 shows that it did not exist. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->
(Murdock) "And the son of Paul's sister, heard of this plot: and he went into the castle, and informed Paul."

Colossians 4:10 does have a word 'anepsios' (cousin) but the Syriac has 'uncle's son' (bar-dodeh)

It's interesting. It also might be an Aramic primacy example. Acts 23:16 is literally translated into Greek. But in Colossians an alternative has been used.

Different translators have different styles. Some will choose to do a literal translation (uncle's son) and some will choose a liberal translation (cousin). Find two Greek manuscripts with the same verse translated both ways and that's a fantastic example or Aramaic primacy.
