Exegesis
The imperfect esan {ἦσαν | ê-san} combines with the participle katabarynomenoi {καταβαρυνόμενοι | ka-ta-ba-ry-nó-me-noi} and the subject phrase auton hoi ophthalmoi {αὐτῶν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί | au-tôn hoí oph-thal-moí} to form a periphrastic construction, “for their eyes were being weighed down,” expressing an ongoing condition of heavy drowsiness.
