{That I am not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles}
(m(8864)en huster(886b)enai t(936e) huperlian apostol(936e)). Perfect active
infinitive of hustere(935c), old verb to fall short with the
ablative case. The rare compound adverb huperlian (possibly in
use in the vernacular) is probably ironical also, "the super
apostles" as these Judaizers set themselves up to be. "The
extra-super apostles" (Farrar). Also in  12:11 . He is not
referring to the pillar-apostles of  Ga 2:9 .
