Exegesis
The prepositional phrase ap autes {ἀπʼ αὐτῆς | ap autês} ‘from her’ marks the city as the source of their enrichment.
The causal prepositional phrase dia ton phobon tou basanismou autes {διὰ τὸν φόβον τοῦ βασανισμοῦ αὐτῆς | diá tòn phóbon toû basanismoû autês} explains the reason for this stance: fear arising from her torment.
In context — Revelation 18:15
The merchants of these things, those who became rich from her, will stand at a distance because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning.
