4 PISTEI PLEIONA QUSIAN ABEL PARA KAIN PROSHNEGKEN TW QEW DI HS EMARTURHQH
DIKAION MARTUROUNTON EPI TOIN DWROIS AUTOU TOU QEOU KAI DI AUTHS ETI
LALEITAI

Near the end of this is KAI DI AUTHS, and AUTHS being feminine, what may I
ask does it refer to, because there is no femine word anywhere else in the
sentence to tie it to, TOIN DWROIS being neuter. In your opinion, what am
I to make of this? and why? Is it permissible to attach a feminine
pronoun to a neuter object, and if so, why here and not elsewhere?
