Exegesis
The sentence begins with hoi de apelthon {οἱ δὲ ἀπῆλθον | hoi dè apêl-thon} ‘they went away’, where the article hoi functions substantivally as the subject “they,” and the particle de marks narrative continuation. The aorist verb apelthon views the laborers’ departure as a single completed action.
