In Acts 14:10a NA27 reads EIPEN MEGALH FWNH, some manuscripts insert TH before
FWNH. If I understand this correctly, the insertion of TH would change MEGALH
from an attributive to a predicate adjective.

Alford makes the cryptic comment that TH was omitted by scribes who didn't
understand it's significance. I must admit that I am with the scribes here
because for me the insertion of TH introduces nothing but problems. Could
someone explain the syntax of this verse given TH FWNH as the accepted
reading?
