Exegesis
The genitive absolute-like construction dialegomenou tou Paulou {διαλεγομένου τοῦ Παύλου | dialegoménou tou Paúlou} “as Paul was speaking” with epi pleion {ἐπὶ πλεῖον | epí pleîon} “for a longer time” provides temporal background, indicating that the extended discourse contributes to his fatigue.
In context — Acts 20:9
And a certain young man by the name of Eutychus was sitting in the window , being overcome by deep sleep as Paul was speaking at length. Having been overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead .
