Exegesis
The prepositional phrase apo tēs Ephesou {ἀπὸ τῆς Ἐφέσου | apó tês Ephésou} specifies the point of departure. The English translation preserves the temporal subordination of the participles to the main verb and renders the genitive absolute as an explicit conditional clause to reflect its pragmatic force.
