Exegesis
Finally, the prepositional phrase eis martyrion autois {εἰς μαρτύριον αὐτοῖς | eis mar-tý-ri-on au-toîs} uses eis plus accusative to indicate purpose or result, “as a testimony to them,” framing the symbolic act as a judicial witness against the rejecting community rather than a mere gesture of frustration.
Root and etymology

In context — Mark 6:11
And whatever place does not receive you nor listen to you, when you go out from there, shake off the dust that is under your feet as a testimony to them.
