Exegesis
hena {ἕνα ... ἕνα | hé-na ... hé-na} emphasizes symmetry, and the paired pros phrases, pros tēi kephale {πρὸς τῇ κεφαλῇ | prós tēi ke-pha-lē̂} and pros tois posin {πρὸς τοῖς ποσίν | prós tois po-sín}, frame the tomb’s boundary at the head and feet.
The relative clause hopou ekeito {ὅπου ἔκειτο | hó-pou é-kei-to} specifies the location where the body formerly rested, with the imperfect ekeito marking a past, ongoing state now concluded, heightening the sense of an empty tomb.
