Exegesis
The final participial clause mathōn hoti Rhōmaios estin {μαθὼν ὅτι Ῥωμαῖός ἐστιν | mathṓn hóti Rhōmaíos estin} supplies the reason for the rescue, with Rhōmaios functioning as a substantive meaning “Roman citizen,” granting him legal protection.
In context — Acts 23:27
This man, having been seized by the Jews and being about to be killed by them, I came with the army and rescued him, having learned that he is a Roman citizen .
