Exegesis
The relative clause beginning with hos {ὃς | hos} shifts the focus from the property to the person, with the aorist middle participle anadexamenos {ἀναδεξάμενος | a-na-de-xá-me-nos} “having received” expressing prior action that leads into the main verb exenisen {ἐξένισεν | exé-ni-sen} “he hosted.” The participle plus finite verb structure portrays Publius first as opening his home and then as extending ongoing hospitality.
