Exegesis
The disjunctive e {ἢ | ē} introduces an alternative alleged activity: causing an epistasis, an “uprising” or legally chargeable disturbance, with poiounta as a present active participle, again agreeing with me as the one supposedly acting. The genitive ochlou functions as a descriptive genitive, “an uprising of a crowd,” emphasizing the public, potentially riotous character of the charge.
Root and etymology
rheōrho–epsilon–omega
“to speak, flow (of speech)”
In context — Acts 24:12
And neither in the temple did they find me engaging with anyone in discussion , or causing an uprising of a crowd, nor in the synagogues, nor throughout the city.
