In Xenophon PROSMENW is used in the sense of waiting for with an
accusative.
n. 1: Xenophon Hist., Anabasis, Book 6, chapter 6, section 1, line 3:,

"After this the enemy confined themselves to their own concerns, and
removed their households and property as far away as possible. The
Hellenes, on their side, were still awaiting the arrival of Cleander
with the ships of war and transports ..."

RE: methodology
Should we make decisions about word order based on the patterns of a
single word used a few times in a small corpus like the GNT? I wonder
if this is valid methodology. Like Carl, I am not impressed by the
position of TOIS ADELFOIS relative to APOTASSW or PROSMENW. See the
following with a dative preceding PROSMENW.
