On page 163 of taylor's Greek to GCSE book 2 appears the
following line ην δε τω Κροισω (ως και προτερον εληχθη) αλλος
υιος, τὰ μὲν ἄλλα ἐπιεικής, αφωνος δε. From the context, the
gist must be something like "There was of Croesus (as was
earlier mentioned) another son, while the other was capable, he
was dumb." but I can't make sense of "τὰ μὲν ἄλλα". Basically,
why isn't τὰ ἄλλα in the nominative - or maybe it is? Last
