True Piety and the Prohibition of Animal Sacrifice

Notes

1. §150.1Ὧν δὴ τοῦτον ἐχόντων τὸν τρόπον — A genitive absolute construction with the relative pronoun Ὧν (connecting relative, referring to the preceding context) as its subject. τοῦτον τὸν τρόπον is an accusative of manner meaning 'in this way'.
2. §150.1ἀπαγορεύει μὴ θύειν — A construction where the infinitive θύειν, accompanied by a pleonastic negative particle μή, follows the verb of forbidding ἀπαγορεύει. It is translated as 'forbids to sacrifice' rather than 'forbids not to sacrifice'.
3. §150.1τοὺς τῷ ὄντι εὐσεβεῖν ἐθέλοντας — An accusative phrase with the participle ἐθέλοντας, serving either as the subject accusative of the infinitive θύειν or as the direct object of the verb ἀπαγορεύει.
