KAI E-le-gon pros he-au-TAS TIS a-po-ky-LEE-sei hê-MEEN ton LI-thon ek TÊS THY-ras tou mnê-MEI-ou
Exegesis
The prepositional phrase ek tēs thyras tou mnēmeiou {ἐκ τῆς θύρας τοῦ μνημείου | ek tês thýras tou mnēmeíou} forms a genitive chain where thyras is governed by ek ‘from’ and mnēmeiou depends on thyras, yielding ‘from the door of the tomb.’ In translation, this structure is preserved by keeping the prepositional phrase intact while adjusting word order slightly for natural English, maintaining the embedded direct question exactly as the Greek frames it.
Root and etymology
