Exegesis
The genitive absolute construction mēdenos aitiou huparchontos {μηδενὸς αἰτίου ὑπάρχοντος | mē-de-nòs ai-tí-ou hy-pár-khon-tos} adds concessive nuance, ‘although no cause exists’, underscoring the lack of legitimate grounds.
In context — Acts 19:40
For we are in danger of being accused of a riot concerning what has happened today, with no cause existing, about which we will not be able to give an account regarding this disturbance .
