Exegesis
The main clause epegnomen {ἐπέγνωμεν | epégnōmen} “we recognized” introduces a content clause with hoti {ὅτι | hóti}, yielding “that Melite, the island, is called…,” where Melite {Μελίτη | Melítē} is the proper name and he nesos {ἡ νῆσος | hē nêsos} specifies it as “the island.”
In context — Acts 28:1
And when we had been brought safely through , then we recognized that the island was called Melita .
