NOMIZW is commonly used in the sense, "think," "judge," "suppose"; it can
take an accusative and infinitive 'indirect speech' construction, but it
should be remembered that if the subject of the infinitive is identical
with the subject of the introductory verb--here NOMIZEI--then the subject
of the infinitive is nominative and need not even be expressed. Therefore
the construction is, "If anyone supposes that he is acting inappropriately
with regard to his virgin ..."
The question raised was about NOMIZEI, and that's the only question I've
sought to answer here, if I even understood the question rightly. I think
there are some tougher questions that could be raised about this verse, but
I shall not endeavor to do so.
