It would be helpful to know where this comes from -- I find mroe than  
four dozen listings for the acronym ISA.

Please note that BG protocol requires transliterations of Greek fonts;  
some readers who don't have UTF-8 encoding turned on may not make  
sense of this.

At any rate, what this brief entry sets is pretty much consistent with  
what has emerged throughout the thread: ENTOS used with a genitive  
PLURAL of persons must indicate location in the midst of the group of  
persons rather than inside the individual persons.
