Exegesis
The articular participial phrase ho legomenos Didymos {ὁ λεγόμενος Δίδυμος | ho legómenos Dídymos} ‘the one called Twin’ functions as descriptive apposition and keeps the nickname closely attached to Thomas.
In context — John 20:24
But Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin , was not with them when Jesus came.
