<div>NOMIZW is commonly used in the sense, &quot;think,&quot;
&quot;judge,&quot; &quot;suppose&quot;; it can take an accusative and
infinitive 'indirect speech' construction, but it should be
remembered that if the subject of the infinitive is identical with
the subject of the introductory verb--here NOMIZEI--then the subject
of the infinitive is nominative and need not even be expressed.
Therefore the construction is, &quot;If anyone supposes that he is
acting inappropriately with regard to his virgin ...&quot;</div>

<div>The question raised was about NOMIZEI, and that's the only
question I've sought to answer here, if I even understood the
question rightly. I think there are some tougher questions that could
be raised about this verse, but I shall not endeavor to do so.</div>
