Exegesis
The second half moves into direct quotation with ho basileus tōn Ioudaiōn houtos {Ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων οὗτος | ho basileús tōn Ioudaíōn hoûtos}, a verbless nominal sentence in Greek. The title comes first, and the demonstrative is placed last for pointed emphasis; English naturally supplies the copula as “This is the King of the Jews.” The compressed wording makes the inscription sound like an official label, not a full explanatory sentence.
Root and etymology
Ioudaiota–omicron–upsilon–delta–alpha
