Exegesis
The noun argyrion {ἀργύριον | argýrion} functions as the object of the infinitive, denoting money in the form of silver; the infinitive dounai {δοῦναι | doûnai} ‘to give’ expresses the purpose or content of their agreement. The overall structure is a coordinated chain of reaction (they rejoiced) plus resolution (they agreed to give him silver), which is preserved in translation by using two linked finite verbs followed by an infinitival purpose phrase.
Root and etymology
