Exegesis
The comparative malon ē {μᾶλλον ἢ | mâllon ḗ} sets up a contrast with epi tois enenēkonta ennea {ἐπὶ τοῖς ἐνενήκοντα ἐννέα | epí toîs enenḗkonta ennéa} “over the ninety-nine,” and the final substantival participle tois mē peplanēmenois {τοῖς μὴ πεπλανημένοις | toîs mḗ peplanēménois} defines those who remained. The translation preserves the conditional mood and comparative emphasis to highlight the greater joy in recovering the one.
