Very common are introductory relative clauses forming a nominative predicate of the sentence that follows: ὃ δὲ πάντων δεινότατον
but what is most terrible of all
L. 30.29. ἐστί is regularly omitted ( cross944). Such relative clauses are followed by an independent sentence, a clause with ὅτι, by ὅτε γάρ, ὅταν, ὅταν γάρ, εἰ. Similarly τὸ δ' ἔσχατον πάντων, ὅτι
but what is worst of all
P. Ph. 66d, etc.
