My knowledge of ancient Greek is very limited but - there does not appear to be any punctuation - how do they know where words/sentences/phrases begin and end?

"In actual Greek texts from the era when Koine Greek was used as a day-to-day language, Greek was usually written with no punctuation. The words ran together completely, with no spacing or markup. Accents, breathing marks, spaces, and other punctuation are added at a much later time, making texts easier to read. "
