Exegesis
Inside the quotation, the nominative phrase ho desmios Paulos {Ὁ δέσμιος Παῦλος | Ho dés-mi-os Paû-los} ‘the prisoner Paul’ serves as the subject, fronting Paul’s status as a prisoner for emphasis.
In context — Acts 23:18
So then, the one who had taken him brought him to the tribune and said, “Paul the prisoner called me and asked me to bring this young man to you, for he has something to say to you.”
