Exegesis
These participles are circumstantial and temporally antecedent to the main imperfect verb epotizen {ἐπότιζεν | e-pó-ti-zen} ‘he was giving to drink’, which portrays an ongoing or repeated attempt to give drink, not a single momentary act.
In context — Mark 15:36
And someone, having run and having filled a sponge with vinegar , and having put it on a reed, was giving Him a drink, saying, “Leave Him alone; let us see if Elijah comes to take Him down.”
