I'm confused by what seems to be a lack of agreement in Rev 8:9:

Rev 8:9 KAI APEQANEN TO TRITON TWN KTISMATWN TWN EN THi QALASSHi, *TA*
*ECONTA* PSUCAS, KAI TO TRITON TWN PLOIWN DEFQARHSAN.
Rev 8:9 And a third of the creatures in the sea that had life died, and a
third of the ships were destroyed.

TA ECONTA is nominative...but shouldn't it be genitive? I was thinking that
it refers back to TWN TKISMATWN. Does it refer to something else?
