Martyrdom of Polycarp 6:1-2

Polycarp’s arrest
6 1 Καὶ ἐπιμενόντων τῶν ζητούντων αὐτὸν μετέβη εἰς ἕτερον ἀγρίδιον, καὶ εὐθέως ἐπέστησαν οἱ ζητοῦντες αὐτόν· καὶ μὴ εὑρόντες συνελάβοντο παιδάρια δύο, ὧν τὸ ἕτερον βασανιζόμενον ὡμολόγησεν. 2 ἦν γὰρ καὶ ἀδύνατον λαθεῖν αὐτόν, ἐπεὶ καὶ οἱ προδιδόντες αὐτὸν οἱκεῖοι ὑπῆρχον, καὶ ὁ εἰρήναρχος, ὁ [καὶ] κεκληρωμένος τὸ αὐτὸ ὄνομα. Ἡρώδης ἐπιλεγόμενος, ἔσπευδεν εἰς τὸ στάδιον αὐτὸν εἰσαγαγεῖν, ἵνα ἐκεῖνος μὲν τὸν ἴδιον κλῆρον ἀπαρτίσῃ Χριστοῦ κοινωνὸς γενόμενος, οἱ δὲ προδόντες αὐτὸν τὴν αὐτοῦ τοῦ Ἰούδα ὑπόσχοιεν τιμωρίαν.

Polycarp’s Arrest
6 1 But his pursuers kept up the search. No sooner had he moved to another little farm that the search party arrived. Unable to find him, they arrested two young slaves, one of whom confessed while the other was being tortured. 2 Now it was impossible for him to remain hidden since his betrayers were actually members of his own household. The police captain, who had the very name (he was called Herod) was eager to bring him into the stadium. 
     This was how he was to fulfill his own destiny by becoming a partner with Christ, and his betrayers would suffer the same punishment as Judas.

6:1 ἐπιμενόντων, present act ptc ἐπιμένω "remain, persist." The participle  shows attendant circumstance: "They kept up (the search)."

μετέβη aorist act ind μεταβαίνω, "leave, move on, cross over." The author keeps the reader at the first ἀγρίδιον (farm? villa?) while Polycarp slips over the hedgerows to the next one, and just as he disappears into the grain the police show up looking for him.

ὧν τὸ ἕτερον βασανιζόμενον ὡμολόγησεν "one of whom confessed while the other was being tortured." He confessed (ὡμολόγησεν, aor ind ὁμολoγέω) while “the other one” (τὸ ἕτερον) was tortured (βασανιζόμενον, passive participle, accompanying circumstance). ὧν here is a relative pronoun ("Who," "One of whom...") and not the participle ὦν which would perhaps have made the participle a pluperfect through periphrasis.

6:2 εἰρήναρχος “police chief; high sheriff.” The irenarch or “peacemaker” is mentioned frequently in inscriptions in the cities of Asia Minor. The Church Father Epiphanius uses this title as a term for Prince of Peace (meaning Christ), and Methodius uses a very similar term for Christ as Author of Peace as well.. Herod, a name that was infamous among Christians but probably as popular as political names generally become in the society. Herod the Great did a lot to reestablish the former glory of Israel.

Ἡρώδης Herod, a name that was infamous among Christians but probably as popular as political names generally become in the society. Herod the Great did much to reestablish the former glory of Israel but left much to be desired at to his faith (he ordered the murder of the innocents at Bethlehem, Matthew 2:16). The other Herods mentioned in the Bible only matched his evil (Mark 6:16; Acts 12:23).

τιμωρίαν "punishment, penalty." The author is talking about eternal judgment, not necessarily the same earthly fate (suicide).
