Exegesis
This gesture’s object, tas kephalas autōn {τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν | tas kephalàs autô̄n} ‘their heads’, depicts visible contempt. The sequence of imperfect and participles emphasizes continuous, multifaceted mockery, which English reflects by combining progressive and participial constructions while preserving the original order.
