Exegesis
In the second infinitival clause, tòn te Barnabân {τόν τε Βαρναβᾶν | tòn te Barnabân} ‘Barnabas’ serves as the implied subject of ekpleûsai {ἐκπλεῦσαι | ekpleûsai} ‘to set sail’, with the participle paralabónta {παραλαβόντα | paralabónta} ‘having taken’ describing his preceding action of taking Márkon {Μᾶρκον | Márkon} ‘Mark’.
