Exegesis
The aorist passive verb ekaumatisthesan {ἐκαυματίσθησαν | ekaumatísthēsan} “were scorched” takes hoi anthropoi {οἱ ἄνθρωποι | hoí ánthrōpoi} as its subject, while the nominative phrase kauma mega {καῦμα μέγα | kaûma méga} stands in apposition, functioning semantically as the means or manner (“by great heat”).
