Exegesis
The direct object ton andra touton {τὸν ἄνδρα τοῦτον | ton án-dra toú-ton} “this man” is followed by predicate accusatives—loimon {λοιμὸν | loi-món} “pestilence” and prototaten {πρωτοστάτην | prō-to-stá-tēn} “ringleader”—that ascribe hostile character.
In context — Acts 24:5
For we have found this man to be a pestilence : he incites uprisings among all the Jews throughout the inhabited world, and he is a leading figure of the sect of the Nazarenes.
