Exegesis
The nominative participle timōrōn {τιμωρῶν | timōrôn} ‘punishing’ is circumstantial and parallels the finite verb ēnankazon {ἠνάγκαζον | ēnánkazon} ‘I was compelling’, both sharing the same implied subject ‘I’ and coordinated within the imperfective aspect to portray ongoing, habitual behavior.
In context — Acts 26:11
And in all the synagogues I often punished them, and I compelled them to blaspheme ; and being exceedingly enraged against them, I persecuted them even as far as the outer cities.
