The aorist verb elthen {ἦλθεν | ēlthen} “came” presents his approach as a complete event, while the accompanying present participle legon {λέγων | légōn} “saying” introduces the content of his speech as contemporaneous with his coming.
In context — Luke 19:20
And the other came, saying, “Lord , behold, your mina, which I had kept laid away in a napkin .”
