to these
| Morphological Notes | Demonstrative pronoun; dative plural (neuter in parsed data; form may also function as dative plural masculine depending on agreement). |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative plural form τούτοις denotes proximity and plurality, indicating ones that are near in space, time, or discourse. Rendering as "to these" preserves the demonstrative force and the dative plural morphology. |
