Exegesis
The verse begins with a genitive absolute construction, Galliōnos de anthypatou ontos tēs Akhaïas {Γαλλίωνος δὲ ἀνθυπάτου ὄντος τῆς Ἀχαΐας | Gallíōnos dè anthypátou óntos tēs Akhaías}, which functions temporally, giving the historical setting while Gallio was proconsul of Achaia. This circumstantial clause is syntactically independent of the main clause but semantically frames it.
In context — Acts 18:12
While Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews , acting together, rose up against Paul and brought him to the judgment seat.
