The question has to do with whether we should construe PRWi PRWTHi
SABBATOU
with the preceding participle ANASTAS or the following main verb EFANH.
If we separate ANASTAS and PRWI PRWTHi SABBATOU, we are given two
seetings,
that is, "having risen" and "early on the first day of the week",
for the main verb EFANH. We will have:
Having risen, on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary.
The two settings stated without any relationship between them
confuses the reader. The reader would expect one setting
for the description of the appearance, that is, "Having risen early on
the first day of the week".
