οἵους
hoîos
what
Relative and qualitative pronoun: of what sort, such as, of such a kind. Used to describe the nature, character, or quality of a person, thing, or action, often in a comparative or correlative construction. Depending on context, can be translated as 'such as,' 'of such kind as,' 'what sort of,' 'like,' or 'such.' Frequently appears in correlative clauses (e.g., οἷος... τοιοῦτος, 'such as... such') or in exclamatory senses ('what sort!') to indicate quality, character, or manner. In the neuter, can function adverbially to mean 'as,' 'in such a way,' or, with a negative, 'not so.'

SIBI-P1 Translation G3634-06
such as (masculine plural)
| Morphological Notes | Relative qualitative pronoun; accusative masculine plural (AMP). |
| Rendering Rationale | The accusative masculine plural form denotes multiple masculine referents characterized by a certain quality. "Such as" preserves the qualitative and correlative force of οἷος while reflecting plural masculine agreement. |
