Exegesis
The prepositional phrase meta paratereseos {μετὰ παρατηρήσεως | mè-ta pa-ra-te-rē-se-ōs} ‘with observation’ specifies the denied manner, using a genitive of manner to characterize an externally verifiable, scrutinized appearance. The translation renders the initial participial construction as a finite clause introduced by “when” or “having been asked” to make the temporal relationship clear, and it unpacks the idiomatic meta paratereseos as “with observation” and “in a way that can be observed” to capture the sense of visible, outwardly noticeable signs.
