Ken:
What about " as was customary with him "?
It's just a more long-winded way of putting the NRSV version " as was his
custom. ":
I would suggest that what needs bringing out here is not a point about a
participle, but the fact that Luke, alone of the Synoptics, stresses the
"habitual frequenting of the synagogue by Jesus " ( Fitzmyer )
[Note: it should be EIWQOS, according to my text ]

EINEKEN here = dictionary form ENEKEN
and the entry from ANLEX ( The Analytical Lexicon of the Greek New
Testament ) reads:

genitive, expressing reason or purpose on account of, for the sake of,
