My main interest is to understand the text. However, I very strongly feel that we must understand the imagery and the path it followed through various cultures first. That is my end game in my analysis of the imagery: we need to understand it so it can assist us with the text.
For me it is incredibly relevant to see possible Byzantine-Syrian influences in the style of the images. It tells us something about possible languages. Greek is omnipresent, but what else?
This is also why I change my mind quite often. Old, shaky ideas weigh heavy on the shoulders of progress.
