Exegesis
The phrase en tō ton Apollō einai en Korinthō {ἐν τῷ τὸν Ἀπολλῶ ἐναι ἐν Κορίνθῳ | en tôi tón A-pol-lô e-nai en Ko-rín-thō} is a prepositional construction with an articular infinitive, functioning temporally: “while Apollos was in Corinth.” The article tō with the infinitive einai creates a substantive clause, and the accusative ton Apollō serves as the subject of that infinitive, while en Korinthō specifies his location.
