ANQRWPOI is predicative, and so is hOI ANQRWPOI PANTES; what we DON'T see
with forms of PAS is hOI PANTES ANQRWPOI (unless we wanted to say
something
like "whole men"!).

If PANTES in PANTES hOI ANQRWPOI or hOI ANQRWPOI PANTES is in a
predicate position, PANTES should explain the referent of
hOI ANQRWPOI, rather than contribute to determining the referent?
But PANTES in PANTES hOI ANQRWPOI seems to contribute to the
determination of the referent. Am I misled somewhere?
