Exegesis
The adversative all {ἀλλʼ | all'} ‘but’ shifts to a contrasted imperfect etupte {ἔτυπτε | étypte} ‘he was striking,’ portraying repeated action, with to stethos autou {τὸ στῆθος αὐτοῦ | to stēthos autou} ‘his chest’ as the object, a conventional gesture of intense grief.
In context — Luke 18:13
But the tax collector, standing far off, was not willing even to lift up his eyes toward heaven, but was striking his chest, saying, “O God , be merciful to me, the sinner .”
