Exegesis
A second participle, elthṓn {ἐλθὼν | elthṓn} ‘having come’, resumes the narrative and leads into the result clause ouden heûren ei mē {οὐδὲν εὗρεν εἰ μὴ | oudén heûren ei mē} where the negation ouden ‘nothing’ and the exceptive ei mē ‘except’ emphasize absence of fruit apart from phýlla {φύλλα | phýlla} ‘leaves’.
In context — Mark 11:13
And seeing a fig tree from a distance with leaves, He approached it to ascertain whether He might find anything on it; and upon reaching it, He found nothing except leaves, for it was not the season for figs.
