page 128 note 1 See, e.g., R. St J. Parry, Cambridge Greek Testament: I Corinthians (1916), in loc., who suggests that λέγραπταı ‘is used in a technical sense’ but not the ‘usual technical sense’, and interprets it as the ‘terms’ of a teacher's commission. This interpretation is difficult in view of Paul's usage of λέγραπταı in the ‘usual technical sense’ elsewhere. H. Lietzmann, Handbuch z. N.T.: An die Korinther I–II (Tübingen, 3rd ed. 1931), refers to Heinrici's suggestion that Paul is defending himself against an accusation of unscriptural teaching, and using his opponents’ own motto. Such a charge seems unlikely, and its rebuttal would not fit the context here.
