| 8. Linguistic Exegesis The relative prepositional phrase par hou {παρʼ | par} ‘from whom’ introduces a clause that links back to the addressee in the preceding context. The main verb dynese {δυνήσῃ | dy-nḗ-sē} ‘you will be able’ is a future middle indicative second person singular, expressing anticipated capacity. The intensive pronoun autos {αὐτὸς | au-tós} ‘you yourself’ emphasizes the subject and is tightly bound to the aorist participle anakrinas {ἀνακρίνας | a-na-krí-nas} ‘examining,’ which functions as an attendant circumstance of means. The prepositional phrase peri pantōn toutōn {περὶ πάντων τούτων | pe-rí pántōn toú-tōn} ‘concerning all these matters’ defines the scope of the investigation. The infinitive epignonai {ἐπιγνῶναι | e-pi-gnô-nai} ‘to know fully’ complements dynese by specifying the goal of the examination. 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. |
