Eddie:

That is exactly what I am trying to find out. Does the
final clause, AI hOS EAN APOLELUMENHN GAMHSHi
MOICATAI, inform us as to what the preceding clause
(POIEI AUTHN MOICEUQHNAI) means? Is it correct to
assume that one can only commit adultery if married?
If so, then "causes her to commit adultery" must be
based solely on her next marriage, not some affair she
has in the second marriage.
