Exegesis
The impersonal verb dokei {δοκεῖ | do-keí} “it seems” takes alogon {ἄλογον | á-lo-gon} “unreasonable” as its predicate complement, while moi {μοι | moi} “to me” functions as a dative of opinion, marking this as the speaker’s considered judgment.
In context — Acts 25:27
For it seems unreasonable to me, when sending a prisoner, not also to indicate the charges against him.
