Exegesis
The participial phrase presbeian aposteilas {πρεσβείαν ἀποστείλας | pres-bei-án a-pos-tei-lás} expresses prior diplomatic action (“having sent a delegation”) before the main verb erōta {ἐρωτᾷ | er-ō-tā}, which takes the idiomatic object ta pros eirēnēn {τὰ πρὸς εἰρήνην | tà pròs ei-rē-nēn}, literally “the things toward peace,” rendered “terms of peace.” In translation, the genitive absolute becomes a temporal subordinate clause, and the participle is rendered as a finite form to maintain clear sequence of event timing.
Root and etymology
eirōei-rō
“to join, bind together”
In context — Luke 14:32
If not, while he is still far off, having sent a delegation , he asks for terms of peace .
