Exegesis
The first relative clause Ois ouk anengelé peri autou {Οἷς οὐκ ἀνηγγέλη περὶ αὐτοῦ | Hoîs ouk anēngélē perì autoû} uses the dative relative pronoun Ois to mark those to whom proclamation should have gone but did not, with the aorist passive anengelé presenting their past state of not having had the message announced about the referent autou.
