What about this (im)possibility: AUTOU works with EPEXRISEN as it
would with HKOUSEN, for example. EPEXRISEN AUTOU would therefore mean
'he anointed him', as HKOUSEN AUTOU means 'he heard him'. Why not
EPEXRISEN AUTON? Because Jesus anointed somewhat 'a part of him',
i.e., his eyes, as in the case of HKOUSEN AUTOU, where he heard
something of him, e.g., his voice, or his words. If he had wanted to
refer directly to the 'object' of the anointment, he would have said,
'EXRISEN TOUS OFQALMOUS AUTOU', as in the case of AKOUW, where we may
have HKOUSEN TON LOGON.
