Exegesis
The verse begins with the aorist middle participle aspasamenos {ἀσπασάμενος | aspasámenos} rendering a temporal circumstance (“after greeting them”), setting the context for the main imperfect middle indicative exēgeito {ἐξηγεῖτο | exēgeîto} rendered as past narrative in both reconstructions (“he recounted,” “he carefully described”) to convey ongoing or iterative discourse.
In context — Acts 21:19
After greeting them, he recounted in detail the things which God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.
