{Five times received I forty stripes save one} (pentakis
tesserakonta para mian elabon). The Acts and the Epistles are
silent about these Jewish floggings ( Mt 27:36 ). See on 烊u
12:47| for omission of pl(8867)as (stripes). Thirty-nine lashes was
the rule for fear of a miscount ( De 25:1-3 ). Cf. Josephus
(_Ant_. IV. 8, 1, 21).
