Athenian article? (3)

the
'article?' is the definition.
(the definite article in English)
'athenian' is the wordplay.
'THE' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am not sure how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for the that I've seen before include "The most frequently occurring word in the Bible (and in this clue!)" , "Finis" , "Last words of story" , "Base of ever-expanding nursery rhyme" , "See 10 Across" .)
