Exegesis
Within this clause, the imperfect verb eichon {εἶχον | eîchon} “I was keeping” depicts continuous past possession, and the perfect participle apokeimenen {ἀποκειμένην | apokeiménēn} “having been laid up” portrays the mina as placed into a state of safekeeping with ongoing result.
In context — Luke 19:20
And the other came, saying, “Lord , behold, your mina, which I had kept laid away in a napkin .”
