Text (it helps me to have the text directly before me when discussing it):
KAI LABWN POTHRION KAI EUCARISTHSAS EDWKEN AUTOIS LEGWN: "PIETE EX AUTOU
PANTES."
I don't think I would have called PANTES "pronominal" (although one might
English it as "everyone", we don't--or shouldn't, I think--ordinarily
characterize the Greek in terms of target-language categories), nor, in
this instance, do I think I'd call it substantive either; it is in
agreement with the implicit second-plural subject of the imperative
PIETE--it's not itself the subject.
