Exegesis

The coordinating conjunction kai {καὶ | kaí} links this clause to the preceding context of searching.

The aorist participle heurousa {εὑροῦσα | heu-roû-sa} ‘having found’ functions temporally to introduce the circumstance for the main verb sygkalei {συγκαλεῖ | syg-ka-leî} ‘she calls together,’ which takes the accusative phrase tas philas kai geitonas {τὰς φίλας καὶ γείτονας | tàs phí-las kaí geí-to-nas} as its object.
