DEIGMA will be accusative after all.

Carl, I like your idea that these cities "constitute an outstanding
example"; it doesn't strike me as so outrageous. Perhaps I'm missing
something. But it still looks to me as though it would be nominative
unless we feel the need to supply EAUTAS (or EAUTOUS, depending on
whether the concord is to be grammatical or physical). At first blush
I don't see a need for that ellipsis.
So my two questions are, Where are you seeing outrage? (in the
meaning you're suggesting for the verb or in something grammatical?)
and What need for the accusative are you seeing?
