Exegesis
The prepositional phrase kat' autou {κατʼ αὐτοῦ | kat' autoû} “against him” combines with the object katadiken {καταδίκην | katadíkēn} “condemnation” to specify the content and target of their request, namely a guilty verdict directed at the accused. In translation, the genitive absolute is rendered with a temporal “when” clause, the main verb with idiomatic legal expressions (“made a formal charge,” “presented their case”), and the participle with finite verbs (“requesting,” “asking”) to preserve the legal progression and clarity of the Greek while maintaining natural English syntax.
In context — Acts 25:15
Concerning whom, when I arrived in Jerusalem , the chief priests and the elders of the Jews made a formal charge, requesting a sentence of condemnation against him.
