Exegesis
The conditional protasis is built on ean {ἐάν | e-án} plus the aorist passive subjunctive poreuthē {πορευθῇ | po-reu-thê}, forming a third-class condition: “if someone should go,” while the prepositional phrase apo nekrōn {ἀπὸ νεκρῶν | a-pò ne-krôn} specifies origin “from the dead.”
In context — Luke 16:30
But he said, “No, Father Abraham ; rather, if someone from the dead should go to them, they will repent .”
