Exegesis
The following phrase to ek merous {τὸ ἐκ μέρους | tò ek mérous} literally 'the {thing} from part' is also substantival, with the article to {τὸ | tò} + preposition ek {ἐκ | ek} + genitive merous {μέρους | mérous} forming a fixed idiom meaning 'that which is partial'. This serves as a second nominative subject or, more precisely, the element that will undergo the verbal action.
