Exegesis
The nominative participle boskontes {βόσκοντες | bóskontes} ‘feeding ones’ functions substantively as the subject with autous {αὐτοὺς | autoús} ‘them’ as its object, and the aorist verb ephyugon {ἔφυγον | éphugon} ‘fled’ expresses their initial reaction as a completed past action.

autosa-u-t-o-s
