Exegesis
Within the relative clause, kategorousin {κατηγοροῦσίν | ka-tē-go-roû-sin} expresses the ongoing accusation directed at Paul, indicated by the genitive pronoun mou {μου | mou}. This syntactic arrangement underscores the contrast between the active legal indictment and the accusers’ inability to substantiate their case before the tribunal.
In context — Acts 24:13
They are not even able to present to you any proof concerning the things of which they now accuse me.
