>>How do you explain the lack of the article?

I would say for the same reason we rearrange sentences in English
from the active to the passive voice: To bring the predicate into
focus giving it a desired and useful emphasis.  Wouldn't this fit
with the context?  If words in English don't change their meaning
when found in the passive vs. the active voice, then why would they
change meaning in Greek when fronted for emphasis?  No one on this
forum has addressed this yet.
