Exegesis
The enclitic te {τε | te} combined with kai {καὶ | kaí} joins Ioudaia and Cappadokia more tightly (“Judea also and Cappadocia”) within the broader list, while still preserving coordination with Pontos and Asia. Syntactically, these accusative regions relate back to the participial phrase, functioning as destinations of habitation and, in the wider paragraph, as the origins of the pilgrims who hear the apostles speaking.
