Exegesis
The subject appears as the participial phrase hoi mellontes auton anetazein {οἱ μέλλοντες αὐτὸν ἀνετάζειν | hoi mél-lon-tes au-tón a-ne-tá-zein} ‘the ones about to examine him,’ functioning substantively to identify the officials ready for interrogation.
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.
