I will try to clarify my earlier question regarding NT Greek adjectival and adverbial phrases. 

Earlier I asked a question regarding the following two sentences that were proposed for consideration by James Tauber:  'I saw the man with my binoculars'  and 'I saw the man with my hat.  My question was: can 'with my hat' and 'with my binoculars' be expressed in NT Greek as META + a genitive characterizing a noun, the object of a verb?  If yes, the next question is: suppose the noun 'man' in each phrase were replaced with the pronoun him, could the prepositional phrase META +  a genitive then characterize the pronoun.  I would appeciate, very much, your comments.

My next question concerns Luke 24:30: KAI EGENETO EN-TW-KATAKLIQHNAI AUTON MET' AUTWN, LABWN TON ARTON...   One interlinear translation translates this as: "And it came to pass as reclined he with them, having taken the bread"...   

Wallace says: "Basic uses of META With Genitive  a. Association/Accompaniment: with, in company with."  

He or him with them. My question is: Does MET' AUTWN characterize the pronoun AUTON?  Again, I would be most grateful for your comments.
