Exegesis
Additional identifications are made through appositional elements: ho kaloumenos Niger {ὁ καλούμενος Νίγερ | ho ka-loú-me-nos Ní-ger} clarifies Simeon’s alternative name; ho Kurenaios {ὁ Κυρηναῖος | ho Ky-rē-naî-os} marks Lucius’s place of origin; and syntrophos Hērōidou tou tetrarchou {σύντροφος Ἡρῴδου τοῦ τετραάρχου | sýn-tro-phos Hē-rōi-dou toû te-tra-ár-khou} defines Manaen’s close upbringing relationship with Herod. The sequence of coordinated phrases linked by kai and te preserves the feel of a catalog, so the English translations retain a list structure with punctuation (dash or colon) to mirror the Greek discourse flow while making relationships between titles and names explicit.
