Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
προβιβασθεῖσα ὑπὸ τῆς μητρὸς αὐτῆς
/having_been/_urged_on by the mother ˱of˲_her
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: [her mother having urged her beforehand]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
προβιβασθεῖσα
/having_been/_urged_on
Here Matthew implies that the woman’s mother, Herodias, had already told her what to ask for if Herod offered to do something for her.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
δός μοι & ὧδε ἐπὶ πίνακι, τὴν κεφαλὴν Ἰωάννου τοῦ Βαπτιστοῦ
give ˱to˲_me & here on /a/_platter the head ˱of˲_John the Baptist
Here the woman implies that she wants Herod to have John killed by having his head cut off and brought to her. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

Note 6 topic: translate-unknown
πίνακι
