eu-THE-ōs oun a-PE-stē-san ap au-TOU hoi MEL-lon-tes au-TON a-ne-TA-dzein kai ho khi-LI-ar-khos de e-pho-BĒ-thē e-pi-GNOUS HO-ti Rhō-mai-OS es-TIN kai HO-ti au-TON ĒN de-de-KŌS
Exegesis
The conjunction kai {καὶ | kaí} introduces a second, closely related clause focusing on ho chiliarchos {ὁ χιλίαρχος | ho khi-lí-ar-khos} ‘the commander.’
A second coordinated hoti-clause, kai hó-ti auton ên dedekos {καὶ ὅτι αὐτὸν ἦν δεδεκώς | kaí hó-ti au-tón ên de-de-kṓs} adds that ‘he had already bound him,’ with the periphrastic imperfect (ên + perfect participle dedekos) marking an ongoing state. In translation, the two hoti-clauses appear as parallel ‘that’ clauses, and the periphrastic construction is rendered as ‘had bound him’ or ‘had already put him in bonds’ to convey prior action and its continuing legal implication.
Root and etymology
dikēdí-kē
“justice, right”
In context — Acts 22:29
At once those who were about to examine him stepped away from him, and the commander also became afraid when he learned that he was a Roman and that he had bound him.
