Exegesis
The verb eidon {εἶδον | eî-don} ‘they saw’ introduces the vision of neaniskon {νεανίσκον | ne-a-nís-kon} ‘a young man’, further specified by kathēmenon {καθήμενον | ka-thḗ-me-non} ‘sitting’.
The locative dexiois {δεξιοῖς | de-xi-oîs} ‘on the right’ situates him spatially, and the perfect participle peribeblēmenon {περιβεβλημένον | pe-ri-beb-lē-mé-non} ‘having been clothed’ highlights the resultant state of stolēn leukēn {στολήν λευκήν | sto-lḗn leu-kḗn} ‘a white robe’.
