Exegesis
The verb execheen {ἐξέχεεν | exé-khe-en} is aorist active indicative, marking a single decisive act of pouring the bowl (ten phialen autou {τὴν φιάλην αὐτοῦ | tēn phi-á-lēn au-toû}).
The second clause introduced by kai {καὶ | kaí} contains exeranthi {ἐξηράνθη | ex-ē-rán-thē}, aorist passive indicative, focusing on the effected state of the river as its water (to hydor autou {τὸ ὕδωρ αὐτοῦ | tò hý-dōr au-toû}) “was dried up.”
In context — Revelation 16:12
And the sixth angel poured out his bowl upon the great river, the Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way for the kings from the rising of the sun might be prepared.
