Exegesis
The clause introduced by hopōs {ὅπως | hópōs} functions as a purpose clause, with tēs anakriseōs genomenēs {τῆς ἀνακρίσεως γενομένης | tês anakríseōs genoménēs} forming a genitive absolute, literally ‘of the investigation having taken place’, indicating prior completion of the hearing.
In context — Acts 25:26
Concerning whom I have nothing certain to write to the lord , therefore I have brought him before you all, and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that after an examination has taken place I might have something to write.
