I need some help with the following sentence. I don't have an exact reference but it can found in the Appendix of Nunn's Syntax recently posted by Mr. Carl Conrad. (Appendix 2, Page 7). Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians, an excerpt on the martyrdom of Peter and Paul.
PETROV, OS DIA ZHLON ADIKON OUX EVA OUDE DUO ALLA PLEIONAS UPHNEGKEV PONOUS, KAI OUTW MARTURHSAS EPOREUQH EIS TOV OFEILOMENON TOPON TNS DOXHS.
Why is PETRON in the accusative case, the only way I can sort of make sense of this whole thing is if he is the subject.
My rough translation:
Peter,he who endured not one or two, but many evils due to unrighteous zeal, thus having born witness was travelled into the owed place of glory.
(I might be way off). Thanks for your help.
