Exegesis
The structure heis sou ek dexiōn kai heis ex aristerōn {εἷς σου ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ εἷς ἐξ ἀριστερῶν | heîs sou ek dexiôn kaí heîs ex aristerôn} places the two “one … and one …” elements in parallel, each specified by a prepositional phrase with ek/ex plus a genitive plural substantive adjective, dexiōn ‘right (side)’ and aristerōn ‘left (side).’ This parallelism foregrounds the exclusivity and symmetry of the requested positions of honor.
