TIS de eks hy-MON DOU-lon E-khōn a-ro-tri-ŌN-ta Ê poi-ma-EE-non-ta hos ei-sel-THON-ti ek tou a-GROU e-REI au-TÔ eu-THE-ōs pa-rel-THŌN a-NA-pe-se
Exegesis
The construction doulon ekhōn arotriōnta ē poimainonta {δοῦλον ἔχων ἀροτριῶντα ἢ ποιμαίνοντα | doû-lon é-khōn a-ro-tri-ônta ē poi-maí-non-ta} consists of a head noun “servant” modified by the nominative participle ekhōn ‘having’ and two accusative participles that specify the servant’s typical work (plowing or shepherding).
In context — Luke 17:7
But which of you, having a servant who is plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he comes in from the field, “Come immediately and recline ”?
