Exegesis
The adverbial phrase apo makrothen {ἀπὸ μακρόθεν | apó ma-kró-then} ‘from a distance’ is tied to the present participle theorousai {θεωροῦσαι | the-ō-roû-sai} ‘watching’, so that their ongoing action of observing is explicitly located at some remove from the cross.
Root and etymology
ōreōtheta–epsilon–omega–rho–epsilon–omega
“to observe, watch intently”
In context — Mark 15:40
But there were also women watching from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joses, and Salome.
