NET Notes

¹tn The participle καθίσας (kaqisas) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

²tn The first illustration involves checking to see if enough funds exist to build a watchtower. Both ψηφίζω (yhfizw, “compute”) and δαπάνη (dapanh, “cost”) are economic terms.
