Exegesis
The aorist passive infinitive prathenai {πραθῆναι | pra-thê-nai} ‘to be sold’ expresses a hypothetical action that could have happened, complemented by the prepositional phrase epano denariōn triakosiōn {ἐπάνω δηναρίων τριακοσίων | e-pá-nō dē-na-rí-ōn tri-a-ko-sí-ōn}, where epano with the genitive indicates value “for more than” a specified amount.
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 .
