Exegesis
The verse begins with the temporal clause hos de pleious hemeras dietribon ekei {ὡς δὲ πλείους ἡμέρας διέτριβον ἐκεῖ | hōs dè pleíous hē-mé-ras di-é-tri-bon e-keî} “as they were spending more days there,” where hos links this scene to the preceding narrative and the imperfect dietribon portrays an ongoing stay.
In context — Acts 25:14
As they spent many days there, Festus presented the matters concerning Paul to the king, saying, "There is a certain man who has been left a prisoner by Felix."
