Exegesis
The nominative phrase hoi men {οἱ μὲν | hoi mén} functions substantivally, meaning “some,” with the particle men anticipating a contrast completed by de.
The second clause introduces the contrasting group with hoi de {οἱ δὲ | hoi dé}, “but others,” again a substantival article plus particle pair, now set off by the comma after legomenois, which marks the break between the two contrasted responses.
