Exegesis
The object ktemata polla {κτήματα πολλά | ktê-ma-ta pol-lá} puts “possessions” first and “many” second, with the adjective intensifying the abundance of his property. In translation, the participles are converted into temporal (“when he heard”) and descriptive (“went away sorrowful”) clauses, while gar is rendered with “for” or “because” to preserve the explicit causal relationship between his wealth and his grief-stricken departure.
