ANASTAS, EUQUS IN MARK

A quick translation question--

Mark 7:24 we read ANASTAS APHLQEN. NAS and others have "arose and went
away." How important is the "arose" here? In Hebrew (QUM), I often
don't translate it at all, or sometimes its more like "decided to." Is
it the same in Greek? (Wish I knew Aramaic!) In Japanese Signs, it seems
superfluous here. Am I missing something? I'm all for dynamic
equivalence, but I want to make sure it really is equivalent.

And while I'm on the topic, what about EUQUS in Mark? If it really is
superfluous, why do so many English versions have "immediately" so
often?

Thanks.

Mark
