Exegesis
The coordinated perfect passive erriptai {ἔρριπται | érriptai} ‘is thrown’ with eis {εἰς | eis} and the accusative tēn thalassan {τὴν θάλασσαν | tḗn thálassan} expresses a completed action with ongoing result, intensifying the imagery.
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.
