ἐξελ. αὐτοῦ … ὑπήντησεν αὐτῷ; note the correction of style in Luke. Mark's incorrectness is to be preferred as emphasising the fact that the meeting with the demoniac took place immediately after leaving the boat. Just on that account the εὐθὺς before ὑπήντησεν (omitted in [32]) is unnecessary. ἐκ τ. μνημείων, from the tombs, as in Mt., ἐκ τῆς πόλεως in Lk.; the former doubtless the fact. Luke's phrase probably means that he belonged to the city, not necessarily implying that he came from it just then (vide Luke 8:27, last clause).
