The quotation is from an old posting. After coming back from
a trip and reading lots of old messages I discovered that no one
answered this question on list! Well, I can't give an answer myself,
but (FWIW), note that this is a common syntactical phenomenon in
ancient Greek (far more common than it is in Spanish or English,
methinks), v. gr.
th\n po/lin e)selqo/ntas Th.2.13.2
a)po\ de\ tou= Ai)twlikou= pa/qous, ... oujx h(/kista au)to;\n tau=ta
e)sh/|ei, "the Aetolian disaster, ... had not a little to do with
these reflections" Th.4.30.1
or even:
th\n nh=son (...) perie/pleon "cruised round ... the island" Th.4.14.5.
But I don't know of any case in NT Greek (I haven't checked
the grammars yet). Any examples are still welcome!
