Exegesis
The prepositional phrase eis tēn tou Sebastou diagnōsin {εἰς τὴν τοῦ Σεβαστοῦ διάγνωσιν | eis tēn toû Sebastoû diágnōsin} indicates the goal of this custody, namely a legal decision at the imperial level, with the genitive tou Sebastou specifying the Emperor as the deciding authority.
In context — Acts 25:21
But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the Emperor , I ordered him to be kept until I could send him to Caesar.
