Further explanation

The titulus approach might make sense if Paul was talking to those "before whose eyes" the titulus had actually been seen, but that doesn't seem likely with most of those over in Galatia. And the titulus itself seems an odd referent for that which was put before their eyes, even if they had seen it on the cross, as wouldn't Paul instead refer to the crucifixion itself?
Apr 19 at 13:10 comment added Dan Moore First, on what basis should we defer to option 2 in BDAG, rather than to option 1, which Paul uses in his other writings? Typically, one should be biased towards expecting a given author, writing a comparable piece of literature, to use similar meanings for words unless the context suggests otherwise. Hence, there needs to be a suitable reason for the reader to assume a different meaning for προγράφω than what Paul uses when he refers to something previously written by himself (Eph. 3:3) or in the Scriptures (Rom. 15:4).
