Exegesis
The verse begins with the nominative plural subject alloi {ἄλλοι | ál-loi} followed by the particle men {μὲν | mèn} and the inferential oun {οὖν | oûn}, forming the discourse marker alloi men oun ‘so some indeed’, which connects this scene to the prior disturbance and introduces a contrastive distribution.
