Exegesis
The verse begins with the circumstantial aorist participle heuron {εὑρών | heurṓn} ‘having found’, which frames the action leading into the main verb proselthen {προσῆλθεν | prosḗlthen} ‘he went to, approached’.
In context — Acts 18:2
Paul found a Jew named Aquila , a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to depart from Rome, and he went to them.
