Exegesis
The temporal clause introduced by hotan katabē {Ὅταν Λυσίας ὁ χιλίαρχος καταβῇ | Hó-tan Ly-sí-as ho chi-lí-ar-chos ka-ta-bê} uses the subjunctive to present an indefinite future condition: “whenever Lysias the commander comes down.” Within this clause, Lysias ho chiliarchos forms the subject phrase with an appositional title specifying military rank.
In context — Acts 24:22
But Felix, knowing more exactly the things about the Way , postponed them and said, “Whenever Lysias the commander comes down, I will decide the things concerning you.”
