Exegesis
The subject of the main clause, ho Phestos {ὁ Φῆστος | ho Phês-tos}, follows, and the dative phrase megalē tē phōnē {μεγάλῃ τῇ φωνῇ | me-gá-lē tē phō-nē} functions as a dative of manner, “with a loud voice,” highlighting the forceful interruption.
In context — Acts 26:24
But as he was defending himself, Festus said with a loud voice, “Paul, you are insane; your great learning is driving you to madness.”
