Exegesis
The reporting verb anēngeilan {ἀνήγγειλαν | anḗngeilan} ‘they reported’, linked by the enclitic te {τε | te}, introduces the content clause hosa ho theos epoiēsen met autōn {ὅσα ὁ θεός ἐποίησεν μετ᾽ αὐτῶν | hósa ho theós epoíēsen met’ autṓn}, with hosa marking totality, theos as the subject of epoiēsen ‘did’, and met’ autōn highlighting divine collaboration. The two main verbs are rendered as coordinated actions in a single complex sentence, preserving narrative flow from arrival and reception to the authoritative declaration of divine works.
