{And there were} (kai egenonto). "And there came" (same
verb _ginomai_). See 8:5 11:19 for this list of terrible
sounds and lightnings, and for the great earthquake (seismos
megas) see 6:12 11:13 (cf. Lu 21:11 ). {Such as was not}
(hoios ouk egeneto). Qualitative relative with ginomai again,
"such as came not." {Since there were men} (aph' hou anthr(9370)oi
egenonto). "Since which time (chronou understood) men came."
{So great an earthquake, so mighty} ( (886c)ikoutos seismos hout(930a)megas). Quantitative correlative (886c)ikoutos rather than the
qualitative oioutos, to correspond with hoios (not hosos).
And then hout(9320)megas repeats (redundant) (886c)ikoutos. Cf. Mr
13:19 for hoia--toiaut(885c) about like tribulation ( hlipsis).
