David,
There is massive syntactical evidence to support the view  that two
persons are in view here.  Do you have any other examples of exclamations
which follow EIPEN AUTWi so that we can form a statistical base for your
claim that this is significant and can overturn the dozens of examples
to the contrary?

Kind Regards,
Dan Parker
