Exegesis

The hoti {ὅτι | hóti} clause ek tautes tes ergasias he euporia hemin estin {ἐκ ταύτης τῆς ἐργασίας ἡ εὐπορία ἡμῖν ἐστίν | ek taútēs tês ergasías hē euporía hēmîn estín} is a copular construction in which the prepositional phrase ek tautes tes ergasias ‘from this business’ functions as a source modifier of the subject he euporia ‘the prosperity’, with the dative hemin ‘for us’ indicating advantage. The word order places he euporia early, highlighting economic well-being as the focus. In translation, the participial clause is rendered with a temporal-circumstantial nuance (“having gathered together” / “brought them together”), and the hoti clause is expressed with a clear causal-source relation (“from this business our prosperity comes”), preserving the emphasis on collective dependence on their trade income.
