o` pisto.j.
Parsing this, we know that it is an adjective that is Nominative, Singular and Masculine. Translating this
wooden-literally, we would get: “The faithful”. However, recognizing its substantive nature in light of the
parsing details, we actually translate it as: “The faithful man.” Again, the word “man” (a;nqrwpoj) is
missing but the word itself suggests that it is to be supplied (e.g. o` pisto.j a;nqrwpoj.) In short: You don’t
have to include the noun here because the adjective already contains it in case, number and gender.
