Exegesis
It then uses a genitive absolute construction, tou de Paulou epikalesamenou {τοῦ δὲ Παύλου ἐπικαλεσαμένου | toû dè Paúlou epikalesaménou} ‘when Paul had appealed’, which provides background circumstance independent of the main clause.
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.
