Exegesis
The content of the instruction is expressed by the infinitival clause medeni eklalesai {μηδενὶ ἐκλαλῆσαι | mēdení eklalêsai} “to tell out to no one,” where medeni “to no one” is a dative complement to the infinitive, and the combination functions as a negative command indirectly reported.
In context — Acts 23:22
So the tribune released the young man, after instructing him to tell no one that you have made these things known to me.
