It is certainly possible to see KARPOUS in v.8 as semantically
related to PAN OUN DENDRON MH POIOUN KARPON KALON EKKOPTETAI in v.9
so there is some evidence of cohesion. I think after exploring the
alternative I know would coned that the standard translations
probably did the right thing here by reading DE KAI as part of the
speech act.
