Exegesis
The sentence then presents two parallel result clauses introduced by the numeral mia {μία | mí-a} ‘one’, each paired with a passive verb: paralambanetai {παραλαμβάνεται | pa-ra-lam-bá-ne-tai} ‘is taken’ and aphietai {ἀφίεται | a-phí-e-tai} ‘is left’. The passive voice highlights that the outcome is effected by an external agent, and the parallel structure underscores the sudden division between the two.
