Exegesis
Location is specified through pros thyran {πρὸς θύραν | prós thýran} “by a door,” modified by the adverb exo {ἔξω | éxō} “outside,” and further by epi tou amphodou {ἐπὶ τοῦ ἀμφόδου | epí toû amphódou} “at the street junction.” In translation, amphodou is rendered as “junction” in the formal reconstruction to convey a meeting of roads, while the dynamic translation captures the sense by “where the street opened out.” The participle dedemenon is rendered as “tied,” preserving the resulting state, and the historical present lyousin is rendered in formal as “untied” and in dynamic as “started untying” to reflect progressive nuance in idiomatic English.
Root and etymology
thyratheta–upsilon–rho–alpha

And they went away and found a colt tied near a door outside at the junction , and they untied it.
