Exegesis
The main verb eidon {εἶδον | eî-don} “I saw” introduces Paul’s visionary experience, followed immediately by the vocative basileu {βασιλεῦ | ba-si-leû} “O king,” marking respectful direct address within courtroom discourse.
In context — Acts 26:13
At midday , O king, along the road I saw a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining around me and those journeying with me.
