Exegesis
The narrative advances with epeita {ἔπειτα | é-pei-ta} “then,” marking sequence.
The paired imperatives dexai and grapson {Δέξαι... γράψον | Déx-ai... gráp-son} form a dual command: receive the debt instrument (sou ta grammata) and alter its content to ogdoēkonta {ὀγδοήκοντα | og-do-ḗ-kon-ta}, underscoring the steward’s shrewdness in reducing liability.
