Exegesis
The emphatic pronoun autos {αὐτὸς | aútos} ‘he himself’ modifies the participle phōnēsas {φωνήσας | phō-nḗ-sas} ‘having cried out’, foregrounding the rich man’s urgent appeal before the main verb eipen {εἶπεν | eî-pen} ‘said’.
In context — Luke 16:24
And he cried out, “Father Abraham , have mercy on me and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am tormented in this flame.”
