Exegesis
The closing sequence tis ti are {τίς τί ἄρῃ | tís tí ár-ē} forms an indirect interrogative clause expressing the purpose or intended outcome of casting lots: “who should take what.” In translation, the historical presents are represented with English narrative present in the formal rendering and simple past in the dynamic rendering to reflect natural storytelling. The participial construction is rendered with a finite verb plus an infinitive phrase (“casting a lot … to determine / by throwing lots to see”) to capture both manner and intended result in clear English syntax.
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.
