τισίν

tìs

of some

An enclitic indefinite pronoun denoting an unspecified or unidentified person or thing; used to indicate 'someone,' 'anyone,' or 'a certain one.' While its primary sense is 'a certain (person or thing),' it also functions in a nonspecific or generalizing way, expressing indefiniteness in statements and questions. Context determines whether it should be rendered as 'someone,' 'anyone,' 'a certain one,' 'anything,' or 'some.'

to certain ones

Morphological NotesIndefinite pronoun; dative masculine plural (Gr,RI/RT,,,,DMP); enclitic form from τις.
Rendering RationaleThe dative masculine plural form denotes unspecified persons in an indirect or associative relation. "To certain ones" preserves both the indefiniteness of τις and the dative plural morphology.
