Exegesis
The coordinated prepositional cluster syn te chiliarchois kai andrasin tois kat exochēn tēs poleōs {σύν τε χιλιάρχοις καὶ ἀνδράσιν τοῖς κατʼ ἐξοχὴν τῆς πόλεως | sún te khiliárkhois kaí andrásin toîs kat’ exokhḕn tês póleōs} gathers both military and civic elites, with kat exochēn functioning idiomatically to single out the socially prominent men of the city. English rendering breaks the long Greek period into two sentences, retaining the temporal progression from royal arrival, to entry into the hall, to the governor’s command, and finally to Paul’s appearance, thus preserving the narrative build-up and highlighting the contrast between worldly pomp and the prisoner who is brought in.
In context — Acts 25:23
So on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with much pomp , and had entered the audience hall with the military tribunes and the leading men of the city, at the command of Festus , Paul was brought in.
