Exegesis
The main verb eipen {εἶπεν | eîpen} ‘he said’ frames a summons through the passive infinitive phōnēthēnai {φωνηθῆναι | phōnēthênai} ‘to be called,’ and its object tous doulous toutous {τοὺς δούλους τούτους | toùs doúlous toútous} ‘these servants’ is then defined by the relative clause hois dedōkei to argyrion {οἷς δεδώκει τὸ ἀργύριον | hoîs dedṓkei tò argýrion} ‘to whom he had given the money,’ highlighting the result of the prior entrustment.
