Hi, Ken
BAGD's article on KENOS has a note on exactly this use of the accusative,
right at the top of the article.
At 02:34 PM 4/8/96 -0700, you wrote:

comments? Also, I'm wondering about the

infinitive from MNHMONEUW followed by

(in his WBC commentary) as "In remembrance of his

justtify that, other than trying to
