{Of the creatures} (	(936e) ktismat(936e)). See  5:13  for this
word ktisma. Even they that had life (	a echonta psuchas).
Here the nominative articular participle is in apposition with
the genitive ktismat(936e), as often in this book. See  Ex 7:20 
for the destruction of fish, and  Zep 1:3 . {Was destroyed}
(diephthar(8873)an). Second aorist passive indicative of
diaphtheir(935c), old compound, to corrupt, to consume, to destroy
(perfective use of dia), also  11:18 . The plural ploion just
before the verb makes the idea plural.
