Exegesis
The nominative phrase hē endōmēsis {ἡ ἐνδώμησις | hē endṓmēsis} “the structure” is immediately defined by the genitive tou teichous autēs {τοῦ τείχους αὐτῆς | tou teîchous autēs} “of its wall,” specifying the part of the city described.
A second coordinated nominative clause, kai hē polis {καὶ ἡ πόλις | kai hē pólis} “and the city,” uses chrysion katharon {χρυσίον καθαρὸν | chrysíon katharón} as a predicate nominative, characterizing its composition.
Root and etymology
