Acts 9:34 iva/tai

The verb form that is spelled iatai may be accented either as present tense (iva/tai) or perfect tense (i;atai). The scribe of codex Vaticanus undoubtedly took the form to be the perfect tense, for he wrote it eiatai, as he did also at Mark 5:29 where there is no question that the perfect tense is intended. 188
