The tetrarch. See on Matthew 14:1.

That was done [τ α γ ι ν ο μ ε ν α]. The present participle. Lit., all that is being done.

Was perplexed [δ ι η π ο ρ ε ι]. Used by Luke only. From dia, through, and ajporew, to be without a way out. The radical idea of the compound verb seems to be of one who goes through the whole list of possible ways, and finds no way out. Hence, to be in perplexity.
