Exegesis
The narrative then adds a coordinated clause with eichon de kai Iōannēn hypēretēn {εἶχον δὲ καὶ Ἰωάννην ὑπηρέτην | eîchon dé kaí Iōánnēn hypērétēn}.
The conjunction de {δὲ | dé} introduces a mild shift, and kai {καὶ | kaí} adds John to the scene.
In context — Acts 13:5
And when they had arrived in Salamis, they were proclaiming the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews, and they also had John as an assistant.
