Exegesis
The causal phrase dia to medemian aitian thanatou huparchein en emoi {διὰ τὸ μηδεμίαν αἰτίαν θανάτου ὑπάρχειν ἐν ἐμοί | diá tò mē-de-mi-án ai-tí-an tha-ná-tou hy-pár-khein en e-moí} employs an articular infinitive construction, with huparchein {ὑπάρχειν | hy-pár-khein} governing the object medemian aitian thanatou.
The neuter article to {τὸ | tò} plus infinitive marks a causal clause, “because there was no cause of death existing in me.” The negative adjective medemian intensifies the denial, stressing complete lack of any capital charge. In the formal rendering, the participial structure and causal linkage are preserved closely, while the dynamic rendering unpacks the judicial nuance (“thoroughly investigated,” “release”) and recasts the articular infinitive as a natural causal clause in English.
