Exegesis
In the commander’s statement, egō {Ἐγὼ | e-gō} precedes ektēsámēn {ἐκτησάμην | ek-tē-sá-mēn} for contrastive emphasis, while the genitive adverbial pollou kephalaíou {πολλοῦ κεφαλαίου | pol-loû ke-pha-laí-ou} indicates price and the accusative tēn politeían taútēn {τὴν πολιτείαν ταύτην | tēn po-li-te-í-an tau-tēn} names “this citizenship” as object.
In context — Acts 22:28
The commander answered, “I obtained this citizenship with a large payment.” But Paul said, “But I also was born a citizen.”
