Exegesis
The fronted substantive adjective pantes {πάντες | pántes} ‘all’ emphasizes the collective perpetrators, immediately followed by the personal name Sosthenen {Σωσθένην | Sōsthénēn} and his title ton archisunagogon {τὸν ἀρχισυνάγωγον | tón archisunágōgon}, which form a single descriptive noun phrase identifying the victim’s official role.
In context — Acts 18:17
Then all of them seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue , and they were beating him in front of the judgment seat . Yet none of these things was a concern to Gallio.
