Because they are both nominative, I wouldn't take them as the direct objects
of hEUREQHNAI; rather I would take them as predicate adjectives. hEUREQHNAI
functions as a copulative rather than a transitive verb.

I am looking at the two adjectives, ASPILOI and AMOMETOI, and trying to 
understand their function in the sentence. Are they substantial, forming a
compound 
direct object of the infinitive? Mounce says that an anarthrous adjective
can 
be substantival, but it is rare. Please don't chastise me to much if I'm 
missing something simple. I'm just beginning relearn, after many years . . .
