Infinitives with accusative subjects are common enough in a lot of
languages (even in English). But today I came across the following in
Acts 4.13:
EPEGINWSKON TE _AUTOUS_ hOTI SUN TWi IHSOU _HSAN_
Here the accusative subject AUTOUS is construed with the FINITE verb
HSAN.
Is this a hybrid construction, a sort of 'lapsus' on the part of the
writer in which he starts with one construction in mind and then
switches to another in midstream?
