   having taken hold and the hand of him the tribune and having withdrawn according to private was asking what is that which you have to report to me

Exegesis

The direct question is introduced by the interrogative ti {Τί | tí} ‘what’ and the copula estin {ἐστιν | estin} ‘is’, followed by the relative clause ho echeis apangeilai moi {ὃ ἔχεις ἀπαγγεῖλαί μοι | ho ékheis apangeîlai moi} literally, ‘that which you have to report to me’, where ho {ὃ | ho} is a neuter relative pronoun referring to unspecified information, echeis {ἔχεις | ékheis} expresses possession or responsibility, and the infinitive apangeilai {ἀπαγγεῖλαί | apangeîlai} denotes the act of formal reporting. In the English renderings, the participles are conveyed with temporal and sequential phrasing (“took him by the hand,” “after withdrawing/leading him aside”), while the imperfect main verb is rendered as “began to ask” in the formal version and “asked” in the dynamic version, preserving the sense of courteous inquiry within a private setting.
