Exegesis
The comparative construction ou pleious okto ē deka {οὐ πλείους ὀκτὼ ἢ δέκα | ou pleíous oktṓ ē déka} negates excess and idiomatically means “not more than eight or ten days,” with pleious modifying hemeras.
In context — Acts 25:6
And after spending not more than eight or ten days among them, he went down to Caesarea; on the next day, having taken his seat on the judgment seat , he ordered Paul to be brought.
