Exegesis
Within the relative clause, the adjective polla {πολλὰ | pollá} in the accusative neuter plural functions adverbially, intensifying the verbal idea of ekopiasen {ἐκοπίασεν | ekopíasen} ‘labored’, and thus conveying the extent or degree of her effort. The verb ekopiasen, an aorist active indicative, presents Mary’s labor as a substantial, completed whole, summing up her history of service on behalf of the community.
