Exegesis
A second circumstantial participle anachōrēsas {ἀναχωρήσας | anakhōrḗsas} ‘having withdrawn’ is coordinated by kai {καὶ | kaí}, and together with the prepositional expression kat’ idian {κατʼ ἰδίαν | katá idían} ‘in private’ establishes a new spatial and social setting: a confidential aside.
In context — Acts 23:19
Then the commander took him by the hand and, after withdrawing privately, began to ask, “What is it that you have to declare to me?”
