Exegesis
The participial phrase akribesteron eidos ta peri tēs hodou {ἀκριβέστερον εἰδὼς τὰ περὶ τῆς ὁδοῦ | a-kri-bé-ste-ron ei-dôs tà perì tês ho-doû} modifies Felix in the same nominative, indicating his basis of “more exact knowledge” regarding “the Way,” conveyed by the article-ta plus peri with a genitive.
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.”
