I recently read James Hannan's response to Doherty's extremely odd interpretation of kata sarka, and noted also Carrier's limpwristed support of someone doing Greek badly.
It is extraordinary to say the least, for Doherty to split up the idiom kata sarka into its constituents, and then attempt to re-interpret the idiom as if he can select any meaning he wants from the lexical range of kata, instead of reading it as an idiom, the whole of which is greater than the sum of its parts. It's like splitting up the idiom phulh ths ghs ('tribes of the earth'), and claiming it refers to the tribes of Israel, just because phulh can refer to the tribes of Israel, and ghs can refer to the land of Israel; and yes, this is a historic exegetical blunder into which a number of commentators have fallen (typically Preterists).
Unsurprisingly, not only did Doherty fail completely to treat the use of this phrase in the New Testament, he failed to address its use in other Greek literature. The other day I spent some time in TLG to see what I could find.
Arguably most relevant, is Josephus.

Καὶ γὰρ ἔρρωται παρ' αὐτοῖς ἥδε ἡ δόξα, φθαρτὰ μὲν εἶναι τὰ σώματα καὶ τὴν ὕλην οὐ μόνιμον αὐτῶν, τὰς δὲ ψυχὰς ἀθανάτους ἀεὶ διαμένειν, καὶ συμπλέκεσθαι μὲν ἐκ τοῦ λεπτοτάτου φοιτώσας αἰθέρος ὥσπερ εἱρκταῖς τοῖς σώμασιν ἴυγγί τινι φυσικῇ κατασπωμένας, ἐπειδὰν δὲ ἀνεθῶσι τῶν κατὰ σάρκα δεσμῶν, οἷα δὴ μακρᾶς
In addition to this, we find a host of uses of the phrase by a broad range of Greek writers, who use it to refer to literal flesh or biological descent/relationship. The bluntly physical references of Aristotle and Epicurus and the entirely medical references of Galen, Paulus, and Oribasius, are totally clear. The following is a sample of many examples (excluding Christian writers).
