Exegesis
The main aorist verb epesen {ἔπεσεν | épesen} ‘fell’ governs the prepositional phrase para tēn hodon {παρὰ τὴν ὁδόν | pará tḕn hodón} ‘beside the path’, which specifies location and implies an exposed, hardened surface.
In context — Matthew 13:4
And as he was sowing, some indeed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them.
