Exegesis
The direct object phrase ton Paulon {τὸν Παῦλον | ton Paûlon} immediately follows, keeping the focus on Paul’s safety and movement.
The prepositional phrase pros ton Silan kai ton Timotheon {πρὸς τὸν Σιλᾶν καὶ τὸν Τιμόθεον | pròs ton Silân kai ton Timótheon} marks Silas and Timothy as the intended recipients of this command.
In context — Acts 17:15
But those who were conducting Paul brought him as far as Athens, and having received a command for Silas and Timothy that they should come to him as quickly as possible, they departed.
