Exegesis
The participle kykloumenen {κυκλουμένην | kyklouménēn} functions adjectivally and places Jerusalem in a vivid state of encirclement, while hypo {ὑπὸ | hypó} with stratopedon {στρατοπέδων | stratopedōn} identifies the hostile agents of the siege.
In context — Luke 21:20
But when you see Jerusalem encircled by armies, then discern that her desolation has drawn near.
