Exegesis
Within the clause introduced by the relative pronoun hon {ὧν | hôn} ‘which things,’ the pronoun hemeis {ἡμεῖς | hē-meîs} ‘we’ and the present indicative kategoroumen {κατηγοροῦμεν | ka-tē-go-roû-men} ‘we accuse’ denote ongoing charges, with autou {αὐτοῦ | au-toû} ‘him’ in the genitive marking the object. The nested relative structures create a legal framework in which thorough inquiry yields complete understanding of the formal accusations.
