Exegesis
The noun prophḗtēs {προφήτης | prophḗtēs} is in apposition to tis as “a prophet,” while the dative onomati Hágabos {ὀνόματι Ἅγαβος | onómati Hágabos} specifies by name “Agabus.” The English rendering uses a temporal clause and an appositional phrase to reflect both the timing and the person’s identity.
