The relat. clause must be viewed as essential, oE à"ovaavn:ç being defined by what follows. The opposite can also be defended : wv intro duces arelat. connection. In the ed. NestIe the participle oE à"ovaavn:ç is also followed by a principal sentence: elTa lexe'Wt ... If it is arelat. connection, it is a correct Greek sentence. Only the combination of wv <strong>and</strong> lexe'Wt remains strange: would a Greek ever say it this way 1 12,43 D fla"áetoç ó ~ov),oç è"ûvoç, OV è).{)wv ó "vetoç aVTov eve~aet aVTdv notoVv'W OVTCOÇ. There is no doubt that the relat. clause is essential. This is not correct Greek. 2.4.5.4. J ohn 1,27 ó on{aw /lov èeX6/levoç, 015 ov" el/li èyw á~toç lva ),vaw aVTov Tdv E/láv'W TOV VnO~/laToç. See Mk 1,7, discussed in 2.4.5.1. Burney 132 mentions two more cases, but these are examples of another idiom, which also occurs in Ancient Greek 133, viz. of the transition of a relat. into a demonstr. clause: 1,33 bp' OV dv Mfjç Td nvev/la "a'W{3aivov "ai /lévov èn' aVT6v, Ó {3a:n:TÎCwv . .. 13,26 èuûv6ç èaTtv cJJ èyw {3á"Pw Td "Pw/l{ov "ai ~waw avup. 2.4.5.5.

It may be compared with B.G.U. I 330 (2.2.1) <strong>and</strong> Hdt. IV 44,1 (1.1) 134. Ep. Philem. 12 ... 'Ov~at/lov, Tdv ... evxe'YJaTov, OV àvéne/l"Pá aot, aVT6v, TOVT' laTtv Tà è/là an)'áxva. Everybody will agree, I think, with Moulton Howard, who say 135: "Philem. 12 is not an instance, since aVTdv is emphatic, with the following clause in apposition". 2.4.5.6.

The relat. clause forms an elaboration of no),vç <strong>and</strong> assists in defining the antecedent.
