Mat_20:9 ff. Οἱ περὶ τὴν ἑνδεκ . ὥραν ] that is, those who, according to Mat_20:6, were sent into the vineyard about the eleventh hour.
πλεῖον ] more than a denarius, plainly not more denarii.
ἀνά ] used distributively; Winer, p. 372 [E. T. 496]. The article τό before ἀνὰ δην ., Mat_20:10 (see critical notes), denotes: the sum amounting in each case to a denarius, so that in analyzing ὄν would require to be supplied.
According to Mat_20:10 f., they do not contemptuously decline to lift the denarius (Steffensen), but begin to murmur after receiving it (Münchmeyer).
