بِالعَجْزِ with the inability
The bi- attaches to mark what is acknowledged: it links the verb 'admitted' to its content, 'the inability', the way certain Arabic verbs reach their object through this small preposition rather than directly. The al- makes the noun definite, and the bi- forces its post-preposition ending.
