Exegesis
The prepositional phrase apo tôn piptontōn {ἀπὸ τῶν πιπτόντων | a-pò tôn pi-ptón-tōn} uses a genitive articular participle to substantivize what was available, while the following phrase apo tês trapezēs tou plousiou {ἀπὸ τῆς τραπέζης τοῦ πλουσίου | a-pò tês tra-pé-zēs toû ploû-sí-ou} combines source and possession genitives to situate the food at the rich man’s table.
In context — Luke 16:21
And he was longing to be fed from the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table; but even the dogs came and were licking his sores .
