Daniel,
I wish my memory was that good :-))))
I think that Jason has come very close to the right answer. I was thinking
that Jesus was sending them ahead UNTIL he released the multitude. I was
thinking of hEWS AUTOS APOLUEI TON OXLON as a "Projection" or a condition
that had to be met before he would join them again. This might require
hEWS AN + subjunctive, however BDF # 383.2 says that AN is sometimes
omitted. I am real fuzzy about this which is why I asked the question.
