Exegesis
The opening phrase meta de to sigesai autous {μετὰ δὲ τὸ σιγῆσαι αὐτοὺς | me-tá dè tò si-gê-sai au-toús} forms a temporal clause using meta with an articular infinitive, a construction that expresses “after” with an action viewed as a complete event.
The conjunction de {δὲ | dé} signals a transition in the narrative, moving from the preceding speeches to James’s contribution.
