Exegesis
The coordinating prepositional phrase syn tō phylassonti auton stratiōtē {σὺν τῷ φυλάσσοντι αὐτὸν στρατιώτῃ | syn tôi phy-lás-son-ti au-tón stra-ti-ṓ-tē} qualifies that autonomy as under continuous guard, with the articular participle phylassonti highlighting the ongoing supervisory role of the soldier. Word order in Greek places the permission and Paul’s lodging at the center, with the guarding detail appended to preserve narrative tension between freedom and custody.
In context — Acts 28:16
When we came into Rome , Paul was allowed to stay in his own quarters, with a soldier who kept watch over him.
