1. What does KAQWS modify?

2. What does DIKAION modify?

3. What does FRONEIN modify?

4. Do you agree that ONTAS is substantival, in apposition to hUMAS? If so,
how would you translate it?

5. The participle ONTAS could also be circumstantial to the controlling
verb ECEIN. Which of the specific functions of the circumstantial
participles is found here (i.e., what type of relationship is there between
ONTAS and ECEIN?):
a. Condition
b. Concession
c. Cause
d. Means
e. Time
How would you reflect your choice in the translation of the participle?

Thanks
