τοὺς δὲ καὶ ἀδελφούς
It may mean I guess, either brother or sister in tragedies but not in prose. Different editions have here either adelfas or, like Perseus. adelfous but not both. The English translation renders it however as 'brothers and sisters' which I think is inaccurate.

The plural can mean “brothers and sisters” also in prose
