Exegesis
The prepositional phrase dia tēs trymalias tēs rhaphidos {διὰ τῆς τρυμαλιᾶς τῆς ῥαφίδος | di-á tēs try-ma-li-âs tēs rha-phí-dos} ‘through the eye of the needle’ employs a head noun trymalias modified by a genitive rhaphidos, with both nouns articular; this double genitive construction sharpens the concrete, hyperbolic image.
