having taken alongside

Morphological NotesVerb; aorist active participle; nominative masculine singular — denoting a completed action performed by a masculine singular subject.
Rendering RationaleThe aorist active participle is rendered with "having taken" to reflect completed action, while "alongside" preserves the παρά prefix’s sense of bringing into one’s company or association.
