Exegesis
The articular clause to tis ara eiē {τὸ τίς ἄρα εἴη | tò tís ára eíē} functions as an indirect question, with the neuter article to nominalizing the entire clause so that it can serve as the object of “began to discuss.” The optative eiē expresses potentiality and uncertainty, approximated by “might be,” while the inferential particle ara conveys a sense of logical wondering, “then, who might it be?”
