Exegesis
The participial genitive construction syneidyes kai tēs gynaikos {συνειδυίης καὶ τῆς γυναικός | syneiduíēs kaí tês gynaikós} functions as a genitive absolute, portraying the wife’s awareness as accompanying background circumstance, and highlighting her complicity without interrupting the main verbal line.
In context — Acts 5:2
And he kept back for himself from the price, with the knowledge also of his wife, and having brought a certain part, he placed it at the feet of the apostles .
