Exegesis
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.
In context — Luke 15:9
And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, “Rejoice with me, because I have found the coin that I lost .”
