Exegesis
The next clause reuses the third person plural subject implicitly with echortasthesan {ἐχορτάσθησαν | e-khor-tás-thē-san} ‘they were satisfied’, an aorist passive that underscores the completeness of their filling as a result of having eaten.
Root and etymology
chortazochi–omicron–rho–tau–alpha–zeta–omega
“to feed, satisfy”
In context — Matthew 15:37
And they all ate and were satisfied , and they took up the surplus of the fragments, seven baskets full.
