Exegesis
The conjunction hoti {ὅτι | hó-ti} introduces the content of what the governor has learned, namely apo Kilikias {ἀπὸ Κιλικίας | a-pó Ki-li-kí-as}, which specifies a provincial affiliation. In English, the participial chain is rendered with finite verbs and temporal clauses (“after reading,” “when he found out”) to preserve the procedural sequence and clarify the legal investigative context.
