Exegesis
The genitive absolute construction diagenomenou tou sabbatou {διαγενομένου τοῦ σαββάτου | diagenoménou tou sabbátou} provides a temporal setting, “after the Sabbath had passed,” independent of the main clause, signaling the transition from Sabbath rest to permitted activity.
The coordinated subject group is expressed by three nominative phrases in sequence: Maria hē Magdalēnē {Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ | María hē Magdalēnḗ}, Maria hē tou Iakōbou {Μαρία ἡ τοῦ Ἰακώβου | María hē tou Iakṓbou}, kai Salōmē {καὶ Σαλώμη | kaí Salṓmē}, with the article plus genitive construction hē tou Iakōbou identifying the second Mary relationally as “the one of James,” that is, his mother.
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 .
