ĬSAM Credit Suisse' or 'Credit Suisse Warburg Pincus'. Tertullian and Augustine suggested Armeniam, Jerome habitants in Syria, and Chrysostom Ἰνδίαν. Several church fathers suggest various conjectures of better geographical fits. 94 The inclusion of Ἰουδαία here in the table of nations has long caused text critical and exegetical difficulties. See Metzger, Textual Commentary, 251 and Swanson, New Testament Greek Manuscripts, 16. Then, however, the narrative shifts to Peter where in 10:28 he distinguishes between ἀνδρὶ Ἰουδαίῳ and ἀλλοφύλῳ by indicating what he assumes is a well- known dictum that a Ἰουδαῖος cannot share intimate social space with a “ foreigner” (ἀλλοφύλῳ).96 Curiously, the NRSV opts to translate ἀλλοφύλῳ as “Gentile” even though what is in view here is not 93 Though note the omission of Ἰουδαῖοι in אc and א* and the different places in which the term is found in C and E. The generic use of Ἰουδαῖος here may have much to do with its narrative speakers. Here it is clear that the Ἰουδαῖοι are definitely one of the world’s ἔθνη.95 Also important to note is that the speakers here are presumably not Ἰουδαῖοι but are representatives of an official of the Roman state. The emissaries of Cornelius introduce their master to Peter as one who is honored ὑπὸ ὅλου τοῦ ἔθνους τῶν Ἰουδαίων. Two of our instances are found in the extended Cornelius narrative in ch. I suggest that we may search, but only in vain, for a single definition or use of Ἰουδαῖος in Luke- Acts, let alone a single paragraph of text.

First, Ἰουδαῖοι is an umbrella category covering the whole list of nations. τὸν οὐρανόν.93 Are then the Ἰουδαῖοι a subset of the many ἔθνους of the world? Or are the ἔθνη subsumed under a broader category called Ἰουδαῖοι? We may further ask how we sort out the three different uses of terms derived from Judea. At least from an etic perspective, the Ἰουδαῖοι were simply one amongst the many peoples of the Roman Empire. One of the ἔθνη Smith reports is the Ἰουδαῖοι.
