Exegesis
A genitive absolute clause mē dynaménou de autoû gnōnai {μὴ δυναμένου δὲ αὐτοῦ γνῶναι | mē dynaménou dè autoû gnōnai} ‘since he was not able to know’ provides the causal basis for the ensuing command, with the infinitive gnōnai functioning as the complement of dynaménou.
In context — Acts 21:34
Some in the crowd shouted one thing and others another; and since he could not learn what was certain because of the uproar , he commanded that he be taken into the barracks.
