Interesting quote
#14
The Josephous example is very helpful. Because it is known for a fact that he was very fluent in Greek. And so the smoothness would be from his proficiency in that language.



I think a good test or argument would be to compare the Greek wriitngs of Josephous to those of the apostle Paul. Because both people are considered part of the educated elite, and often called "Alexandrian Jews" because of their familiarity with Greco culture and language.


While some Greek primacists, say or claim that the twelve apostels used secretaries and translators etc. It usually is assumed that Paul himself literally wrote everything directly into Greek by his own hand. So some of the roughness of the gosples are claimed to come from "dictation". But that shouldnot be the case for the PAuline ones. In this case you really do have a pretty exact analogous situation going. So the argument or the test should hold up well.
