Exegesis
The conditional particle ei {εἰ | ei} combined with the negative mē {μὴ | mē} introduces a contrary-to-fact condition, “if not,” governing the pluperfect epekeklēto {ἐπεκέκλητο | e-pe-ke-klḗ-to} with the accusative object Kaisara {Καίσαρα | Kaí-sa-ra}, indicating a completed prior action of appeal to Caesar that now determines the legal outcome. English rendering reshapes the Greek order into a natural conditional sentence while preserving the sense of missed possibility and the formal legal setting.
In context — Acts 26:32
But Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been released if he had not appealed to Caesar .”
