Exegesis
The phrase ek tou perisseuontos autois {ἐκ τοῦ περισσεύοντος αὐτοῖς | ek toû pe-ris-seú-on-tos au-toîs} uses a substantival participle to describe the source of their giving as overflow rather than sacrifice.
The contrastive turn with haute de {αὕτη δὲ | haú-te de} narrows the focus to the solitary woman, and the mirrored phrase ek tou hysterematos autes {ἐκ τοῦ ὑστερήματος αὐτῆς | ek toû hy-ste-rḗ-ma-tos au-tês} reverses the source of giving from abundance to lack.
