Exegesis
The content of their assertion is introduced by hoti {ὅτι | HO-ti} “that,” which marks reported speech: Samaritēs ei sy kai daimonion echeis {Σαμαρίτης εἶ σὺ καὶ δαιμόνιον ἔχεις | sa-ma-RI-tēs ei sy kai dai-MO-ni-on E-kheis} “you are a Samaritan and you have a demon.”
The vocative-like emphasis of sy {σὺ | sy} “you” intensifies the insult.
