Reading and interpretation of selected parts of the text (approximately two pages of the text of Teubner edition are interpreted during every lesson): the appropriate translation of Greek original text to Czech (differences between the word-for-word and the appropriate translation, looking for adequate expressions in Czech for different Greek syntactic constructions), grammatical analysis of the text (morphology, syntax: emphasis on understanding of different syntactical phenomena and looking for their semantically adequate alternative constructions), social and cultural context.
