Exegesis
The infinitival structure genesthai me {γενέσθαι με | ge-nés-thai me} combined with en ekstasei {ἐν ἐκστάσει | en ek-stá-sei} expresses the resultant experience: “for me to come to be in a trance.” Greek uses the infinitive with an accusative subject (me) to present the outcome of the previously described circumstances. English does not normally use such an infinitival clause for main events, so the translations recast it as a finite clause (“that I came to be in a trance” / “I suddenly fell into a trance”) while preserving the temporal and locative layers established by the participles and prepositional phrases.
