Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en mesō tou Areiou Pagou {ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ Ἀρείου Πάγου | en mésō toû Areíou Págou} ‘in the midst of the Areopagus’ employs a dative of location with a genitive chain, specifying the formal setting on the hill and its governing council as the arena of Paul’s address.
In context — Acts 17:22
Then Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, in every respect I perceive that you are very religious .”
