Exegesis
The improper preposition epanō {ἐπάνω | e-pá-nō} with the genitive poleon {πόλεων | pó-le-ōn} specifies the sphere of this delegated rule, “over ten cities,” highlighting the disproportionate increase from a very small trust to a vast administrative responsibility.
Root and etymology
epiepsilon–pi–iota
“upon, above”
In context — Luke 19:17
And he said to him, “Well done, good servant ; because you have been faithful in a very small matter, have authority over ten cities.”
