Into the country and villages round about (eis tous kuklōi agrous kai kōmas). The fields (agrous) were the scattered farms (Latin, villae). The villages (kōmas) may have included Bethsaida Julias not far away (Luk 9:10). The other Bethsaida was on the Western side of the lake (Mar 6:45).
Somewhat to eat (ti phagōsin). Literally, what to eat, what they were to eat. Deliberative subjunctive retained in the indirect question.
