Exegesis
The genitive apposition Philíppou tou euangelistoû {Φιλίππου τοῦ εὐαγγελιστοῦ | Philíppou toû euangelistoû} ‘of Philip the evangelist’ identifies his role, and the participial genitive óntos {ὄντος | óntos} ‘being,’ with ek tôn heptá {ἐκ τῶν ἑπτὰ | ek tôn heptá} ‘from the seven,’ acts as a genitive absolute to define his membership in the appointed group.
In context — Acts 21:8
