Exegesis
The participle kathisas {καθίσας | ka-thí-sas} ‘having sat down’, as an attendant circumstance with the adverb tacheōs {ταχέως | ta-ché-ōs} ‘swiftly’, sets up the main imperative grapson {γράψον | grá-pson} ‘write’, which takes pentekonta {πεντήκοντα | pen-tḗ-kon-ta} ‘fifty’ as an accusative of extent.
Root and etymology
