Exegesis
The main finite verb enomisan {ἐνόμισαν | enómi-san} ‘they supposed’ governs a content clause introduced by hoti {ὅτι | hóti}, forming hoti pleion lempsontai {ὅτι πλεῖον λήμψονται | hóti pleî-on lḗm-pson-tai} ‘that they would receive more’, which expresses their expectation in contrast to what actually happens.
In context — Matthew 20:10
And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more, and they themselves received the denarius each.
