Exegesis
The phrase esthiontes {ἐσθίοντες | es-thí-on-tes} functions as a substantival participial clause acting as the subject, “those who were eating,” with the imperfect verb esan {ἦσαν | ê-san} linking to the predicate andres hōsei pentakischilioi {ἄνδρες ὡσεὶ πεντακισχίλιοι | án-dres hō-seì pen-ta-kis-khí-li-oi}, which provides gender and an approximate number.
