Exegesis
The narrative then returns to the main finite verb exapesteilan {ἐξαπέστειλαν | exapésteilan} ‘they sent away,’ with kenon {κενόν | kenón} ‘empty’ as an object complement indicating the resultant state in which the servant was dismissed. This participle-main verb sequence, capped by the adjective kenon, heightens the cumulative sense of violence and contempt followed by total deprivation.
In context — Luke 20:11
And he added to send another servant, but they also, after beating him and dishonoring him, sent him away empty .
