Exegesis
Gallio’s statement forms a protasis with the conditional particle Ei men ēn {Εἰ μὲν ἦν | Ei mèn ên} ‘if indeed it was’ in the imperfect indicative, followed by an apodosis in the optative aneschomen {ἀνεσχόμην | a-nes-khó-mēn} ‘I would bear with’ marked by ἂν, signaling potentiality.
In context — Acts 18:14
As Paul was about to speak, Gallio said to the Jews, “If this were a case of wrongdoing or a serious evil act, O Jews, it would be reasonable for me to bear with you.”
