Exegesis
The final segment anairoumenon te auton katenenka psephon {ἀναιρουμένων τε αὐτῶν κατήνεγκα ψῆφον | anairouménōn te autôn katḗnenka psêphon} combines a genitive absolute (anairoumenon te auton) “while they were being put to death” with the aorist katenenka “I cast,” portraying Paul’s vote as concurrent with, and morally complicit in, their executions. The noun psephon, literally a “pebble,” evokes formal judicial procedures where stones signified verdicts, so the syntax moves from imprisonment to authorized action to full legal participation in capital punishment.
In context — Acts 26:10
Which also I did in Jerusalem; and many of the saints I shut up in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests, and when they were being put to death I cast my vote against them.
