Exegesis
The verse opens with a genitive absolute construction, klethentos de autou {κληθέντος δὲ αὐτοῦ | klē-thén-tos dè au-toû} “when he had been summoned,” which functions as a temporal clause independent of the main sentence grammar but setting the courtroom scene.
In context — Acts 24:2
And when he had been summoned, Tertullus began to bring charges against him, saying, “Since we are enjoying great peace through you and since reforms are being carried out for this nation through your foresight,”
