i agree. but since it seems a very difficult decision to make since QEOS here could legitimately be either the predicate nominative or vocative, would vv. 9-12 help us decide which one would make more sense? how about any parallelism?

i've heard people (e.g., wallace) say that the MEN...DE construction strengthens the idea that QEOS is vocative here, but i'm still unclear as to precisely why that would be. perhaps someone could explain that in more detail.
