Exegesis
The prepositional phrase apo tēs timēs {ἀπὸ τῆς τιμῆς | apó tês timês} ‘from the price’ specifies that the withholding concerns only a portion of the total sale value.
The participial genitive construction syneidyes kai tēs gynaikos {συνειδυίης καὶ τῆς γυναικός | syneiduíēs kaí tês gynaikós} functions as a genitive absolute, portraying the wife’s awareness as accompanying background circumstance, and highlighting her complicity without interrupting the main verbal line.
