Exegesis
The negated participial phrase ou meta tōn othoniōn keimenon {οὐ μετὰ τῶν ὀθονίων κείμενον | ou metá tōn o-tho-ní-ōn keí-me-non} describes the face cloth by what is not true of it: it was not lying with the other linen cloths.
The participle keimenon {κείμενον | keí-me-non} functions predicatively, forming a periphrastic-like description of its state.
In context — John 20:7
And the face cloth that was upon His head was not lying with the linen cloths, but was set apart, having been wrapped up in one place .
