Ok, you tell me who as the greatest Biblical scholar of the early Church.

I have cited 2 Protestant Church Historians [Pelikan, Lutheran, who became Eastern Orthodox] and Schaff he said pretty much that in substance, maybe not exact form.

You're missing the point. Your original assertion to CB was: "No, Jerome was a better translator of the Greek than you ,are. This appeal to “any student Greek, etc” is nonsense. Saint Jerome was fluent in Greek and understood the nuisances of the language better than anyone.

You said he was a better translator than CB. Maybe he is...maybe not. Do you know CB's qualifications in this area? No you don't. Yet CB has been able to show where Jerome's translation is in error which would seem to nullify your statement about Jerome understanding the nuisances better than anyone.

Now, you're having to issue more clarifications than the Clintons!

Again, with your original assertion being proven false, why should we believe anything you put forth going forward??
