Exegesis
The narrative then moves to the main reporting clause ho Phestos tō basilei anetheto ta kata ton Paulon {ὁ Φῆστος τῷ βασιλεῖ ἀνέθετο τὰ κατὰ τὸν Παῦλον | ho Phês-tos tō̂ ba-si-leî a-né-the-to ta ka-tà ton Paû-lon}, with ho Phestos as subject, anetheto as the aorist middle verb of formal reporting, tō basilei as the dative indirect object “to the king,” and ta kata ton Paulon as a neuter substantive phrase meaning “the matters concerning Paul,” using kata with the accusative in a technical, often legal sense.
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."
