ἐκεῖναι
ekeînos
A demonstrative pronoun primarily meaning 'that one,' used to designate someone or something distant in place, time, or thought from the speaker or the discourse context. In various contexts, it denotes that person or thing, often as opposed to one previously mentioned or present (as with οὗτος, 'this'). In discourse, ἐκεῖνος can function anaphorically (referring to someone previously mentioned), deictically (pointing out someone or something further off), or contrastively (distinguishing that one from another).

those
| Morphological Notes | Demonstrative determiner/pronoun; nominative, feminine, plural (distant demonstrative). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is nominative feminine plural of the distant demonstrative ἐκεῖνος, indicating "those" in contrast to what is near. English does not mark grammatical gender here, but the plural distant reference is preserved. |
