Exegesis
The third kai introduces a new object, the articular participial phrase to perisseuon tōn klasmatōn {τὸ περισσεῦον τῶν κλασμάτων | tó pe-ris-seú-on tōn klas-má-tōn}, literally ‘the surplus of the fragments’, where the present active participle perisseuon functions as a substantive meaning ‘what was left over’, governed by the definite article to and modified by the genitive klasmatōn ‘of the pieces’.
Root and etymology
