ÊN DE O-no-ma TŌI DOU-lōi MAL-khos
Exegesis
The closing naming formula en de onoma toi douloi Malchos {ἦν δὲ ὄνομα τῷ δούλῳ Μάλχος | ên dè ónoma tōi doúlōi Málchos} delays identification until the end, a discourse move that first spotlights the act and then personalizes the victim.
In context — John 18:10
So Simon Peter , having a sword, drew it and struck the slave of the high priest, and cut off his right ear; and the slave’s name was Malchus .
