KARPOS DE DIKAIOSUNHS EN EIRHNHi SPEIRETAI TOIS POIOUSIN EIRHNHN.
How is the dative TOIS POIOUSIN used in this verse? I'm thinking that it
could be a dative of advantage ("is sown FOR those who make peace") or a
dative of means ("is sown BY MEANS of those who make peace"), or some
might want to call it a dative of agency ("is sown BY those who make
peace"), although the only clear instances of this category occur with a
perfect passive verb (acc. to Wallace).
Any insights?
