Exegesis
The first prepositional phrase epi pantas tous kathemenous {ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς καθημένους | epí pántas toús kathēménous} expands the scope to every person included in the participial description, while the article makes the participle substantival rather than merely descriptive.
The second prepositional phrase epi prosopon {ἐπὶ πρόσωπον | epí prósōpon} extends the image spatially, using prosopon {πρόσωπον | prósōpon} idiomatically for visible surface or expanse.
