Exegesis
The verse begins with the infinitive construction κτήνη τε παραστῆσαι {κτήνη τε παραστῆσαι | ktḗ-nē te pa-ra-stê-sai}, where the accusative noun κτήνη functions as the object of the aorist infinitive παραστῆσαι indicating the act of providing mounts.
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 .
