Exegesis
The object phrase to diktyon {τὸ δίκτυον | tò dík-ty-on} ‘the net’ is followed by the directional phrase eis tēn gēn {εἰς τὴν γῆν | eis tḕn gēn} ‘into the land,’ marking the transfer from water to shore.
Finally, the aorist passive eschisthe {ἐσχίσθη | es-khís-thē} ‘was torn’ precedes the subject to diktyon {τὸ δίκτυον | tò dík-ty-on} ‘the net,’ heightening the climax of the intact net.
