Exegesis
Preceding this, the genitive absolute construction thentos autou themelion {θέντος αὐτοῦ θεμέλιον | thé-ntos au-toû the-mé-li-on} ‘after he has laid a foundation’ provides a circumstantial, temporally prior action independent of the main clause grammar.
In context — Luke 14:29
Lest after someone lays a foundation and is unable to finish it, all who see it begin to mock him.
