Syntax notes1 item
- 7.14c.1Μασυλεῖς αὐτούς φησι
The verb φημί takes an accusative subject (αὐτούς) and a predicate accusative (Μασυλεῖς). This can be analyzed either as an accusative with infinitive construction with the copula εἶναι omitted ("says that they are Masyleis"), or as a double accusative construction ("calls them Masyleis").
