‏ 2 Corinthians 2:13

 I had no relief ( ουκ εσχηκα ανεσιν ). Perfect active indicative like that in 1:9, vivid dramatic recital, not to be treated as "for" the aorist (Robertson, Grammar, p. 896, 898ff.). He still feels the shadow of that restlessness.  Ανεσις, from  ανιημ, to let up, to hold back, is old word for relaxing or release (Ac 24:34).

 For my spirit ( τω πνευματ μου ). Dative of interest.

 Because I found not Titus ( τω μη ευρειν με Τιτον ). Instrumental case of the articular infinitive with negative  μη and accusative of general reference  με, "by the not finding Titus as to me."

 Taking my leave of them ( αποταξαμενος αυτοις ). First aorist middle participle of  αποτασσω, old verb, to set apart, in middle in late Greek to separate oneself, to bid adieu to as in Mr 6:46.
