Exegesis
The relative clause hos ekhei pente artous krithinous kai duo opsaria {ὃς ἔχει πέντε ἄρτους κριθίνους καὶ δύο ὀψάρια | hos É-khei PÉN-te ÁR-tous kri-THÍ-nous kaí DÝ-o op-SÁ-ri-a} follows immediately, defining the boy by what he possesses. Within this clause, the direct objects of ekhei are coordinated, with krithinous tightly modifying artous to yield “barley loaves,” and opsaria standing alone as “small fish.”
