Exegesis
The first direct object is the articular noun phrase ten protoklisian {τὴν πρωτοκλισίαν | tēn prō-to-kli-sí-an} ‘the place of honor’, followed by the prepositional phrase en tois deipnois {ἐν τοῖς δείπνοις | en toîs deíp-nois} ‘at the banquets’, which specifies the social setting of formal meals where reclining positions signaled rank.
In context — Matthew 23:6
But they love the place of honor at banquets and the chief seats in the synagogues ,
