Exegesis
Within this clause, the participle elthousai {ἐλθοῦσαι | elthoûsai} (feminine plural, agreeing with the three women) functions temporally, “after they had come,” preceding the subjunctive aleipsōsin {ἀλείψωσιν | aleípsōsin}, the main verb of the purpose clause, which expresses intended action.
In context — Mark 16:1
And after the Sabbath had passed, Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that, after they had come, they might anoint Him .
