Exegesis
The verse opens with kai {καὶ | kaí} functioning as a narrative connector that links this statement to the preceding account.
The causal prepositional phrase dia tous horkous {διὰ τοὺς ὅρκους | dià toùs hórkous} ‘because of the oaths’ and the coordinated accusative phrase kai tous anakeimenous {καὶ τοὺς ἀνακειμένους | kaí toùs anakeiménous} ‘and those reclining’ describe the external pressures—his solemn vows and the presence of his guests—that constrained him.
Root and etymology
dikēdelta–iota–kappa–eta
