Exegesis
The participial phrase anabolēn mēdemian poiēsamenos {ἀναβολὴν μηδεμίαν ποιησάμενος | anabolḗn mēdemían poiēsámenos} ‘having made no delay’ functions circumstantially, highlighting the speaker’s promptness; the accusative object anabolēn is negated by mēdemian for emphatic total absence of postponement.
