Exegesis
The direct object chain Iasona kai tinas adelphous {Ἰάσονα καί τινας ἀδελφοὺς | Iásona kaí tinas adelphoús} groups Jason with “some brothers,” presenting them together as those seized.
The following demonstrative houtoi {οὗτοι | hoûtai} ‘these’ resumes and intensifies the identification in a deictic way, and the clause kai enthade pareisin {καὶ ἐνθάδε πάρεισιν | kaí entháde páreisin} adds the localizing element “also here are present,” shifting the focus from global disturbance to immediate local threat. In translation, the participial clauses are rendered with temporal and resultative finite clauses (“when they did not find… who have turned…”), preserving the causal and descriptive relationships while yielding idiomatic narrative English and maintaining the legal-confrontational setting.
