Perfect! Mark 1:1-2 look exactly correct. Thanks for taking the time to check in. Regarding your question about the article, below.
I'm not quite exactly sure what you are asking. I tried to give examples in the guideline that represent what I initially thought you were asking, but after thinking about it more, I'm not sure I understand your question. I'll try to answer both things that I think you might be asking.
In the Greek, if there is no article, typically this means that the noun is indefinite, and is translated into English as such, with the indefinite 'a' article. e.g..
OIKOS (a house) as opposed to hO OIKOS (the house). And yes, 'a house' should be included in the greek tag.
In the Greek, if there is no article, but the English includes a DEFINITE article-- OIKOS (the house)-- the definite 'the' article should still be included in the Greek tag. This was a translator decision and, though we may disagree, it is only our job to record their translation of the Greek text.
I hope one of these 2 answers your question.

I remarked Mark 1:1&2. Does this follow your guidelines. What about nouns without the article that are translated in English with the article? Should we include the English article within the tag?-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Troy A.
