Exegesis
The prepositional phrase perì autḗn {περὶ αὐτὴν | perì autḗn} and the noun kópria {κόπρια | kópria} ground the plea in horticultural imagery. In translation, the aorist participle and subjunctives are rendered as past narrative and future indicative within the “until” clause to convey urgency tempered by patience.
