Exegesis
The participle legon {λέγων | lé-gōn} “saying” introduces the direct quotation and is syntactically subordinate to anetheto, further describing Festus’s act of presentation.
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."
