Exegesis
The coordination kai ouk eiden auton ouketi ho eunouchos {καὶ οὐκ εἶδεν αὐτὸν οὐκέτι ὁ εὐνοῦχος | kaí ouk eî-den au-tón ou-ké-ti ho eu-noû-khos} presents the eunuch’s perspective: with ouk plus the aorist eiden {εἶδεν | eî-den} and the adverb ouketi {οὐκέτι | ou-ké-ti}, Luke emphasizes that the eunuch’s sight of Philip has definitively ended.
The nominative phrase ho eunouchos {ὁ εὐνοῦχος | ho eu-noû-khos} is the subject both of eiden and of the following verb.
