Exegesis
The infinitive apelthein {ἀπελθεῖν | apeltheîn} functions as the content of their asking, and the prepositional phrase apo tês poleōs {ἀπὸ τῆς πόλεως | apó tês póleōs} specifies departure from the city. Temporal rendering of participles and iterative phrasing for the imperfect preserve the original aspectual and sequential nuances.
