Exegesis
The main narrative verb proepempon {προέπεμπον | proépempon} with de {δὲ | de} resumes the storyline, describing their ongoing action of accompanying him, while the prepositional phrase eis to ploion {εἰς τὸ πλοῖον | eis tó ploîon} marks the spatial goal. English formal rendering preserves the Greek sequence by foregrounding the cause of grief before the action of escorting, whereas the dynamic translation smooths the flow with explicit temporal progression (“Then they went with him”) while retaining the same causal and result relationships.
