Exegesis
The subject ho Festos {ὁ Φῆστος | ho Phês-tos} is immediately followed by the circumstantial participle sullalesas {συλλαλήσας | syl-la-lé-sas} “having conferred,” which is temporally prior to the main verb apekrithē {ἀπεκρίθη | a-pe-krí-thē} “he answered.”
In context — Acts 25:12
Then Festus , after conferring with the council , answered, “You have appealed to Caesar; to Caesar you shall go.”
