Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐκέλευον ῥαβδίζειν

˓were˒_commanding ˓to_be˒_beating_with_rods_‹them›

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [commanded soldiers to beat them with rods]
