PAU-los de êk-KSII-ou ton a-po-STAN-ta ap au-TÔN a-PO pam-phy-LEE-as kai mê sy-nel-THON-ta au-TOIS eis to ER-gon mê sym-pa-ra-la-BEIN TOU-ton
Exegesis
Its object touton {τοῦτον | toû-ton} ‘this one’ is described by two aorist active participles—apostanta {ἀποστάντα | a-po-stánt-a} ‘having departed’ and sunelthonta {συνελθόντα | su-nel-thón-ta} ‘having gone together’—joined by kai {καὶ | kaì} and marked with me {μὴ | mḕ} to indicate the grounds for exclusion.
The relational phrase ap autōn {ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν | apó autōn} ‘from them’ highlights separation, while apo Pamphylias {ἀπὸ Παμφυλίας | apò Pam-phu-lí-as} ‘from Pamphylia’ provides geographical context.
