Exegesis
The aorist participle easantes {ἐάσαντες | eásantes} “having allowed” precedes the main verb hypestrepsan {ὑπέστρεψαν | hypéstrepsan} “they returned” and is adverbial, describing the circumstance under which the main action occurs.
The clause hypestrepsan eis tēn parembolēn {ὑπέστρεψαν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν | hypéstrepsan eis tḕn parembolḗn} “they returned to the camp” concludes the sentence with a simple aorist indicative summarizing the completed movement back to the military base. English renderings mirror this structure by preserving the temporal opening, the participial nuance with “having allowed” / “after letting,” and the sequence of the cavalry’s departure contrasted with the others’ return.
In context — Acts 23:32
But on the next day , having allowed the horsemen to go on with him, they returned to the camp .
