Fr. Silver,

No, this is exactly what Alford is disputing. He is replying to some  
other 19th century (?) scholars who were attempting to read this  
prayer as it were address to QEOS PATHR. I guess you need to have  
Alford on hand and be accustom to reading him. I don't see any  
ambiguity in the quoted paragraph of the original post but I have  
been reading Alford for decades.
