Exegesis
The coordinated aorist passive infinitive dothenai {δοθῆναι | do-thê-nai} ‘to be given’ shares the same governing verb edunato and extends the hypothetical scenario: not only sold, but also bestowed upon tois ptōchois {τοῖς πτωχοῖς | toîs ptō-khoîs}, “the poor,” a dative of advantage.
In context — Mark 14:5
For this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor ; and they began to scold her .
