Hi, everybody:
I am wondering whether there are any *formal* criteria for answering the question stated for constructions like:
"Kai phrone^sis men estin, he^ schesis· ktl."?
Is my understanding correct that:
1. *if not for the comma*, the only possible subject here would be "schesis", since it is the only noun with the article;
2. as the phrase stands (i.e. with the comma), the only possible subject is "phrone^sis"?
3. If so, how does it differ in meaning (if at all) from:
"Kai he^ phrone^sis men estin he^ schesis· ktl." ?
(I am interested in any possible nuances of meaning.)
The texts I am working with are 7th century Byzantine philosophical prose, heavily influenced by Plato; any references to his use of such constructions would be also very much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
