Exegesis
This omitted action is spelled out in the object phrase tas kat autou aitias {τὰς κατ᾽ αὐτοῦ αἰτίας | tàs kat au-toú ai-tí-as}, where kat {κατ᾽ | kat} plus the genitive autou {αὐτοῦ | au-toú} conveys “against him,” and aitias {αἰτίας | ai-tí-as} denotes formal “charges.” Thus the structure presents a legal expectation: sending the prisoner should be accompanied by formally indicating the accusations. The English renderings mirror this by using an impersonal “it seems” with an infinitive-like clause (“to send a prisoner … without also telling”), preserving both the logical flow and the judicial emphasis of the Greek.
In context — Acts 25:27
For it seems unreasonable to me, when sending a prisoner, not also to indicate the charges against him.
