Leaped on them (efalomenov ep autouv). Second aorist (ingressive) middle participle of efallomai, old verb to spring upon like a panther, here only in the N.T.
Mastered (katakurieusav). First aorist (effective) active participle of katakurieuw, late verb from kata and kuriov, to become lord or master of.
Both (amfoterwn). Papyri examples exist where amfoteroi means "all" or more than "two" (Robertson, Grammar, p. 745). So here amfoteroi includes all seven. "Both" in old English was used for more than two.
So that (wste). Another example (verses Acts 19:10-11) of wste with the infinitive for result.
Naked (gumnouv). Probably with torn garments,
Wounded (tetraumatismenouv). Perfect passive participle of traumatizw, old verb to wound, from trauma (a wound). In the N.T. only here and Luke 20:12.
