Exegesis
A parenthetical explanatory clause is introduced by houtos gar {οὕτως γὰρ | hoútōs gár}, “for thus,” followed by methermeneuetai {μεθερμηνεύεται | methermēneútai} and its subject to onoma autou {τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ | tò ónoma autoû}, giving an internal gloss on the meaning of the name “Elymas.”
In context — Acts 13:8
But Elymas the magician was opposing them, for thus his name is interpreted, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith .
