Exegesis
The prepositional phrase pros me {πρός με | prós me} ‘to me’ indicates personal address, while the dative phrase tē Hebraidi dialektō {τῇ Ἑβραΐδι διαλέκτῳ | tē Hebraídi dialéktō} ‘in the Hebrew dialect’ highlights the significant sacred language context.
The interrogative clause ti me diōkeis {τί με διώκεις | tí me diṓkeis} uses the present tense to depict ongoing persecution of the speaker.
