Jonathan:
>Section 4.a. of BAGD's discussion of EN is not limited to indirect objects;
>in fact, section 4.a. lists examples where EN+Dative is equivalent to the
>ordinary dative. That's not much different from saying that 'EN with EMOI
>is "little more than an *emphasized* version of EMOI on its own"'. BAGD
>lists Gal 1:16 in this category.

My objection is to using "emphatic" to describe this.  "Emphasis" is too
often becomes a catchall category.  Why not describe it grammatically as a
syntagm of the indirect object (in Gal 1:16)?
