Translate the following sentence and then explain the cases of the nouns and the tense of the participle. 'οἱ ἐκ της πολεως φυγοντες οὐκ εἰσιν ἀνδρειοι.᾽

Translation:
Those who fled from the city are not brave.
'της πολεως' is in the genitive because it follows the preposition 'ἐκ'
'ἀνδρειοι' is in the nominative because it is the subject of the clause.
'φυγοντες' is in the aorist because it denotes a singular past action.
