I'm sorry, but I need to ask, "standard ancient Greek word-order" for
what?

No, I'm not so interested in the discussions concerning any "rule" for
this wording. And yes, perhaps I've underestimated what I'd expect to
find. But, if you could provide me with a list, I am first and
particularly interested in locating any verses within the N.T. and LXX
which follow that same pattern; i.e., again, examples of an anarthrous
predicate nominative preceding a copula followed by an articulated
subject.
Thanks for you interest and offer to help, Alan Craig.
