Λεγιών and Matthean Latinisms
Assuming Markan priority, one can admit that the basics of the ‘Gerasene story’ are the same in all the Synoptic Gospels.

It is my argument in this brief essay that Matthew’s Christological characterization remains the most probable reason for his avoidance of Λεγιών rather than a Matthean aversion for Latinisms. |
