{As he sowed} (en t(9369) speirein auton). Literally, "in the
sowing as to him," a neat Greek idiom unlike our English temporal
conjunction. Locative case with the articular present infinitive.
{By the wayside} (para t(886e) hodon). People will make paths along
the edge of a ploughed field or even across it where the seed
lies upon the beaten track. {Devoured} (katephagen).  "Ate
down." We say, "ate up." Second aorist active indicative of
katesthi(935c) (defective verb).
