Exegesis
The inferential conjunction dio {διὸ | di-ò} ‘therefore’ explicitly links this acknowledged competence to the appeal introduced by deomai {δέομαι | dé-o-mai} ‘I beg.’
In context — Acts 26:3
Especially because you are an expert in all the customs and questions that concern the Jews, I therefore beg you to hear me patiently .
