Exegesis
The direct object τὸν Παῦλον {τὸν Παῦλον | tón Paû-lon} identifies who is being mounted, while the prepositional phrase πρὸς Φήλικα τὸν ἡγεμόνα {πρὸς Φήλικα τὸν ἡγεμόνα | pròs Phḗ-li-ka tón hē-ge-mó-na} defines the destination and official before whom Paul is delivered. In English, the infinitive is rendered as a directive “to provide,” the participle is expanded to “having placed Paul on them,” and the purpose clause is smoothed to clearly express the protective transfer of Paul to Governor Felix.
In context — Acts 23:24
And to provide mounts , so that, having placed Paul on them, they might bring him safely to Felix the governor .
