οἳ
hós
who
A relative pronoun introducing clauses that refer back to a previously mentioned noun or idea ('who,' 'which,' 'that'); used to relate additional information, qualify, or give a description about the antecedent. The core function is to establish a relationship between the antecedent and the relative clause. Sometimes with demonstrative force in certain poetic or elevated registers. In rare constructions, may also be used in indirect questions, or as a connector where a relative sense is implied.

the ones
| Morphological Notes | Definite article (from pronominal stem), nominative masculine plural; functions here as a substantival/pronominal form. |
| Rendering Rationale | As nominative masculine plural, οἱ marks a specific, identifiable group and can function substantivally. “The ones” preserves both definiteness and plural masculine reference without adding contextual detail. |
