Exegesis
A new clause introduces the internal narrative: anthropos {Ἄνθρωπος | Ánthrōpos} ‘a man’ serves as the subject of a sequence of aorist verbs—ephuteusen {ἐφύτευσεν | ephýteusen} ‘he planted’, exedeto {ἐξέδετο | exédeto} ‘he leased out’, and apedemesen {ἀπεδήμησεν | apedḗmēsen} ‘he went away’—joined by kai {καὶ | kaì} to form a compact storyline.
