 Is really Sharp's rule appliccable to this? I don't think so. The text
goes:
ERWTWMEN DE hUMAS, ADELFOI,
	hUPER
		THS PAROUSIAS  TOU KURIOU hHMWN IHSOU CRISTOU
		KAI hHMWN  EPISUNAGWGHS EP' AUTON

the PAROUSIA is of the Christ and EPISUNAGWGH is of us

I agree, but I don't need to bend Sharp's rule to prove it.
