changes to bring this into conformity with list protocol: transcription and
addition of a full-name signature.

Hi,

I just discovered B-Greek. Just wonderful! Here's also
my (first) question. Did the use of hOI AMFI
followed by accusative evolve from "those around/the
followers of somebody" to simply having no semantic
content at all in the Roman era? In other words, can
hOI AMFI A, B, C"  come to mean simply "A, B, C"?

Thanks!

Bogdan Bucur
