Exegesis
The aorist participle horisas {ὁρίσας | ho-RÍ-sas} is circumstantial and syntactically dependent on epoiēsen, describing how God exercised His creative act: by “determining” or “setting” what follows.
In context — Acts 17:26
And He made from one every nation of mankind to dwell on all the face of the earth, having determined appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation.
