AKOUSANTES DE ANASTASIN NEKRWN hOI MEN EXLEUAZON, hOI DE EIPAN,
AKOUSOMEQA SOU PERI TOUTOU KAI PALIN.
I don't intend to deal with the question which you raise, but with the
subject of concord between a pronoun and its antecedent.
Here we do have a fem noun (ANASTASIS) which has a demonstrative which is
neuter referencing it. I might add a few more which likewise have a fem
N and a neut PN, but the list is not to be understood as exaustive. The
noun is denoted by (*) and the pronoun by (+).
