καθαρ'[α] as an intensifier seems unnecessary after the already intense ουκ-ουδεν. I would suggest considering the alternative καθαρ'[οι] to agree with [η]μεις to give the meaning " not-at-all (particle) we the pure ones [don't] want those whom you-have not wanted keenly." I am not endorsing the other possible meaning " we, the Cathars..."
Thank you Markus. I appreciate your assistance with the finer points of the Greek grammar and syntax.
If you have time to study and comment on the Greek grammar and syntax of the second line of the paragraph, I would appreciate that as well. I think it would be very helpful for the discussion we are having here.
