Exegesis
The genitive absolute eipontos tou Paulou {εἰπόντος τοῦ Παύλου | eipóntos tou Paúlou} introduces a circumstantial clause, temporally interpreted as “after Paul had spoken.”
The subject is to pneuma to hagion {τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον | tò pneûma tò hágion}, and the preposition dia with the genitive Esaiou tou prophetou {Ἠσαΐου τοῦ προφήτου | Ēsaḯou tou prophḗtou} marks Isaiah as the prophetic instrument or channel.
In context — Acts 28:25
But as they were disagreeing with one another, they began to leave after Paul had spoken one statement : “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers.”
