Exegesis
The circumstantial participle dynatos ōn {δυνατὸς ὢν | dy-na-tós ṓn} describes his capacity, and en tais graphais {ἐν ταῖς γραφαῖς | en taîs gra-phaîs} specifies the sphere of his strength in the recognized Scriptures. Greek word order foregrounds identity, origin, and attributes before the action, a sequence retained in the formal reconstruction while the dynamic division enhances readability.
In context — Acts 18:24
