Exegesis
The disjunctive ē kai {ἢ καὶ | ē kai} ‘or even’ heightens the contrast, leading to the final comparative hōs hoútos ho telōnēs {ὡς οὗτος ὁ τελώνης | hōs hoû-tos ho te-lō-nḗs} ‘like this tax collector’. The Greek uses participial circumstantial clauses and comparative particles with asyndeton for rhetorical emphasis.
In context — Luke 18:11
The Pharisee, having stood by himself, was praying these things: “O God , I give thanks to You that I am not like the rest of men—extortioners, unjust , adulterers—or even like this tax collector.”
