Exegesis
The second finite verb elabon {ἔλαβον | é-la-bon} introduces the realized action, with the object phrase to ana denarion {τὸ ἀνὰ δηνάριον | tò aná dē-ná-ri-on}, an idiomatic combination of article, preposition ana with accusative, and noun, meaning ‘a denarius each’.
In context — Matthew 20:10
And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more, and they themselves received the denarius each.
