The words from EN THi DIDASKALIAi to AKTAGNWSTON describe, of course, the way that Titus is to be an example to others. But that is not my question. How are these words GRAMMATICALLY related to the preceding clause?
The grammars I possess do not treat this issue and I have not been able find any previous discussion of it on B-Greek. Can we understand these phrases as accusative of respect? EN THi DIDASKALIAi AFQORIAN, SEMNOTHTA is 'with regard to uncorruptness and seriousness (or dignity) in teaching" and LOGON hUGIH AKATAGNWSTON is "with regard to sound irreproachable speech (or message)"?
