Exegesis
The verse begins with a prepositional phrase en tais Athēnais {Ἐν ταῖς Ἀθήναις | En taîs Athḗnais} ‘in Athens,’ setting the geographical frame.
Its subject is the articular noun phrase to pneuma autou {τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτοῦ | tó pneûma autoû} ‘his spirit,’ with the additional prepositional phrase en autō {ἐν αὐτῷ | en autô} ‘within him’ intensifying the internal locus of this reaction.
Root and etymology
