Exegesis
The verse begins with the temporal conjunction hos de {ὡς δὲ | hōs dè} followed by the aorist verb etelesan {ἐτέλεσαν | etélesan}, forming a temporal clause “when they completed,” which sets the time frame for the subsequent actions.
In context — Acts 13:29
And when they had completed all the things that were written concerning Him , having taken Him down from the tree , they placed Him in a tomb.
