Exegesis
The main clause kai autoi proselabonto trophes {καὶ αὐτοὶ προσελάbonτο τροφῆς | kaí aú-toi pro-se-LÁ-bon-to tro-PHÊS} begins with the intensive pronoun autoi plus the finite verb proselabonto in the aorist middle indicative, emphasizing their own action in receiving food. The genitive trophes functions as a partitive, conveying “some food.” In translation, the formal version renders the participle as “became cheerful” to reflect the sequence of events, while the dynamic version uses “was encouraged” to convey the reception of encouragement more directly. The verb proselabonto is rendered “took some food” in the formal reconstruction to preserve the middle voice sense of reception and “began eating some food” in the dynamic to emphasize the ensuing action.
