Exegesis
The conditional idea is introduced by ei {εἰ | ei} ‘if’, followed by the nominative subject lithos mylikos {λίθος μυλικὸς | líthos mylikós} ‘a millstone’ and the passive verb perieketai {περιέκειται | periéketai} ‘is placed around’, with the preposition peri {περὶ | perí} plus the accusative ton trachēlon autou {τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ | tón tráchēlon autoû} specifying the neck encircled.
In context — Luke 17:2
It is better for him if a millstone is placed around his neck and he is thrown into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
