MOUNCE’S EXPOSITORY DICTIONARY
The prepositive article corresponds somewhat to the english article “the,” but it can also function as the demonstrative (“this, that”) or personal pronoun (“he, she, it”) and also a correlative, ὁ μὲν ... ὁ δέ, the one ... the other (Phil. 1:16, 17; Heb. 7:5, 6, 20, 21, 23, 24). It can aid it turning an adjective or participle into a substantive.
