Exegesis
This coordination underlines the pursuit of prominence both in religious assemblies (synagogais {συναγωγαῖς | sy-na-gō-gaîs} ‘synagogues’) and at social meals (deipnois {δείπνοις | deíp-nois} ‘banquets’). The absence of a finite verb creates an asyndetic relative clause that, in English, requires the supplied verb phrases “those who desire” and “they also want” to convey continuity with the preceding clause about the scribes’ behavior.

deipnondelta–epsilon–iota–pi–nu–omicron–nu
“main meal, banquet”
