A reading that is possibly in line with Helma Dik's approach, at least
in the same
ballpark, would be that there happen to be three focal elements in the
three KOMMATA
IDIAS EPILYSEWS
OY QELHMATI ANQRWPOY
and YPO PNEYMATOS AGIOY
ANQRWPOI is showing up in a default position, and APO QEOY may have
been 'dragged'
into the verb phrase to form a quasi unit as a paraphrase of
PROFHTEIA: 'speaking from God'
NB: the Byz text reads quite differently AGIOI QEOY ANQRWPOI "holy men
of God" and the
phrase would remain as a default clause order.
