Exegesis
The final accusative auton {αὐτόν | autón} again marks the governor as the one being pressed. In translation, the coordinated verbs and composite subject are maintained, and verbal aspect is reflected by distinguishing the completed reporting (‘made accusations’ / ‘reported their case’) from the continuing pressure (‘were urging’ / ‘kept pressing’).
In context — Acts 25:2
The chief priests and the leading men of the Jews made accusations to him against Paul, and they were urging him .
