Exegesis

This target is expressed with the prepositional phrase epi tous basileis {ἐπὶ τοὺς βασιλεῖς | epì toùs ba-si-leîs} ‘to the kings’, further defined by the genitive chain tēs oikoumenēs holēs {τῆς οἰκουμένης ὅλης | tēs oi-kou-mé-nēs hó-lēs} ‘of the whole inhabited world’, which universalizes the scope of influence.

The telic prepositional phrase eis ton polemon {εἰς τὸν πόλεμον | eis tòn pó-le-mon} ‘for the war’ clarifies the end toward which they are gathered, elaborated by the genitive phrase tēs hēmeras tēs megalēs {τῆς ἡμέρας τῆς μεγάλης | tēs hē-mé-ras tēs me-gá-lēs} ‘of the great day’.
