This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mat_25:18. Ἀπελθών ] he went away, removed to a distance. How entirely different in the case of the two first, Mat_25:16! They started upon a journey ( πορευθ .).
ὤρυξεν ἐν τ . γῇ ] he digged, i.e. he made a hole in the earth. The reading γῆν , which Tisch. adopts, following B L à (C*: τὴν γῆν ), but from which the vss. deviate, would mean: he dug up the earth (Plat. Euthyd. p. 288 E).
τὸ ἀργύρ . τοῦ κυρ . αὐτ .] brings out emphatically the idea of responsibility and dereliction of duty.
