Hi, Hoping you can answer my question. If a woman wrote Koine Greek in the third person would she refer to herself as a male ? Hope you can help with this answer.

I don't know if it's imperative to know what "Koine Greek" means to effectively answer this question - the use of 'would' leads me to believe that, but I'll take a shot. A women could refer to herself as a male.

Koine Greek has gender-specific pronouns in the third person. There
would be no need for a woman to refer to herself as a man.

Note that all my koine greek comes from only one high school and one
college course.

Would that be the same high school and college where US history received a thorough whitewashing, George?
