Hi, Elizabeth. That must be v. 2.

I'm curios here.

I take ABRAAM and TON PROPATORA hHMWN KATA SARKA  as appositive.

Doesn't this accusative case simply tell it's the agent of the verb EURHKENAI?

I am reading mss variant
     "ABRAAM TON PROPATORA hHMWN KATA SARKAh EURHKENAI".
Should the location of the verb make me change my opinion, when it
comes at the start of this clause?

Oun Kwon.
