On first reading, I took THN AUTHN in v. 11 as meaning "the same as each
other". But then I thought, could it mean, the same SPOUDH as they have
displayed and are displaying by serving the holy ones (v. 10)? I don't
advocate that reading; but if anyone can give me a grammatical reason for
considering it or for ruling it out, I'd be grateful.
