Exegesis
A second kai {καὶ | kaí} coordinates the aorist apengeilan {ἀπήγγειλαν | apḗngeilan} ‘reported’ which governs two parallel prepositional phrases: eis tēn polin {εἰς τὴν πόλιν | eis tēn pólín} ‘into the city’ and eis tous agrous {εἰς τοὺς ἀγρούς | eis toús agroús} ‘into the fields’, indicating that the report spread both to urban and rural areas.
In context — Mark 5:14
And those feeding them ran away and reported it in the city and in the countryside . Then people went out to see what had happened.
