ὅτι λέγουσιν, etc.: this may be taken as an indirect or suggested rather than expressed question, ὅτι being recitative, as in Mark 2:16 = the Pharisees and scribes say, etc., how about that? (Weiss in Meyer), or, writing not ὅτι but ὅ, τι (neuter of ὅστις), as an instance of the use of this pronoun as an interrogative in a direct question (Meyer, Schanz, vide also Burton, M. and T., § 349). De Wette takes ὅτι = τί ὅτι after Beza and Grotius (who calls it one of Mk.'s Hebraisms).
