Exegesis
The structure ouk echō asphales ti grapsai tō kuriō {οὐκ ἔχω ἀσφαλές τι γράψαι τῷ κυρίῳ | ouk ékhō asphalés tí grápsai tôi kyríō} combines a negated verb of possession with an infinitival phrase, conveying Festus’s lack of sufficient, reliable content “to write to the lord,” here referring to the emperor as audience of the report.
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.
