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.
The principal verb of the reported speech, diagnōsomai ta kathʼ hymas {διαγνώσομαι τὰ καθʼ ὑμᾶς | di-ag-nô-so-mai tà kathʼ hy-mâs}, is a future middle expressing Felix’s determination to judge, with ta as a substantive and kathʼ plus hymas indicating “the matters concerning you.” The structure highlights the tension between possession of knowledge and the decision to defer judgment pending oversight by a superior officer.
