Exegesis
The temporal conjunction phrase heōs hou {ἕως οὗ | héōs hoû} introduces a subordinate temporal clause whose verb is the subjunctive anapempsō {ἀναπέμψω | anapémpsō}, indicating anticipated future action: the sending of Paul to Kaisara {Καίσαρα | Kaísara} ‘Caesar’. The repeated auton throughout maintains clarity of reference to Paul as the object of both the appeal and the official commands. English renders the genitive absolute as a temporal “when/after” clause and the heōs hou clause with “until,” preserving the flow from appeal, to order, to ultimate transfer to the Emperor’s judgment.
Root and etymology
Kaisarkappa–alpha–iota–sigma–alpha–rho

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.
