Hebrews 4:2--KAI GAR ESMEN EUHGGELISMENOI KAQAPER KAKEINOI, ALL' OUK WFELHSAN hO LOGOS THS AKOHS EKEINOUS MH SUGKEKERASMENOUS THi PISTEI TOIS AKOUSASIN.
 
Why is SUGKEKERASMENOUS in the accusative and why is it plural, since it is to be understood with hO LOGOS THS AKOHS?  SUGKEKERASMENOS, which is what, I think, would be grammatically correct, is found in some manuscripts, but the editors of the critical text of Nestle Aland and UBS appparently thought SUGKEKERASMENOUS most probably stood in the original text. Is the form of the word due its proximity to EKEINOUS? and Is it a "solecism"?
