Exegesis
The second clause employs a circumstantial participle paragenómenos tis tôn adelphōn {παραγενόμενός τις τῶν ἀδελφῶν | para-ge-nó-me-nos tis tôn a-del-phōn} “any of the brothers having arrived” as the logical subject of the aorist verbs apḗn-geilen ē e-lálēsen {ἀπήγγειλεν ἢ ἐλάλησέν | apḗn-gei-len ḕ e-lá-lē-sen} “reported or spoke.”
In context — Acts 28:21
But they said to him, “We have neither received letters about you from Judea nor has any of the brothers, having arrived, reported or spoken anything evil about you.”
