KAI ho la-LOON met e-MOU EI-khen ME-tron KA-la-mon khry-SOUN HI-na me-TRÊ-sêi tên PO-lin KAI tous py-LOO-nas au-TÊS KAI to TEI-khos au-TÊS
Exegesis
This verb takes three coordinated accusative objects—tēn pólin {τὴν πόλιν | tḕn pó-lin}, tous pylōnas autēs {τοὺς πυλῶνας αὐτῆς | toús py-lô-nas autês}, and to teichos autēs {τὸ τεῖχος αὐτῆς | tò tei-chos autês}—each referring back to the same city via autēs. The asyndetic series underscores a comprehensive survey, and the English rendering preserves this parallelism.
In context — Revelation 21:15
And the one speaking with me had a golden measuring reed , in order to measure the city , its gates, and its wall.
