Exegesis
The participial phrase ballontes kleron {βάλλοντες κλῆρον | báll-on-tes klê-ron} “casting a lot” functions as a circumstantial participle of manner, explaining how they divide the garments, while the prepositional phrase ep auta {ἐπʼ αὐτὰ | epí autà} “upon them” clarifies that the lots are cast with respect to the garments.
In context — Mark 15:24
And they crucify Him , and they divide His garments among themselves, casting a lot upon them to determine who should take what.
