Koine and Biblical and Medieval Greek • Re: Trouble understanding a specific passage in Gregory Palamas

[Posted independently of Michael, whose post I will read in a moment.]

Note: ὑπέδυς is 2nd person

μηδ᾽ αἱρουμένης ποιεῖν ἑαυτῇ φίλους ἐκ τοῦ μαμωνᾶ τούτου τῆς ἀδικίας
nor choosing to make for herself friends using this mammon of unrighteousness

τοὺς ὅταν ἐκλίπῃ προσδεξομένους αὐτὴν ἀπὸ τῶν ἐνταῦθα φίλην γεγενημένην ἐν ταῖς αἰωνίοις αὐτῶν σκηναῖς
who when she dies, will receive her, having become their friend, from the places here into their eternal abodes,

ἀλλὰ τοὺς ... ἐξωσθέντας βαρλααμίτας ...
but instead [made] the Barlaamites [friends] ...

That's how I understand it, anyway. I didn't read the rest.
