Exegesis
The verse opens with the prepositional phrase en tō speirein auton {ἐν τῷ σπείρειν αὐτὸν | en tôi speírein autón} ‘as he was sowing’, where en governs an articular infinitive to express a temporal circumstance, backgrounding the action of sowing.
In context — Matthew 13:4
And as he was sowing, some indeed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them.
