Exegesis
The construction ho de ephe {ὁ δὲ ἔφη | ho de é-phē} employs the imperfect to frame the responsive statement, and the affirmative particle nai {Ναί | Nai} confirms the identity. Both translations maintain the participial-plus-finite structure to reflect the legal proceedings and narrative flow.
In context — Acts 22:27
Then the commander came and said to him, “Tell me, are you a Roman ?” And he replied, “Yes.”
