Exegesis
The sentence begins with the coordinating conjunction kai {καὶ | kaí} ‘and’, carrying forward the narrative, followed by the demonstrative particle idou {ἰδοὺ | idoú} ‘behold’, which draws attention to the upcoming subject.
The emphatic pronoun autos {αὐτός | autós} ‘he himself’ with the imperfect verb ēn {ἦν | ēn} ‘was’ establishes his identity before two predicate nominatives: architelōnēs {ἀρχιτελώνης | architelṓnēs} ‘chief tax collector’ and plousios {πλούσιος | ploúsios} ‘rich’, linked by kai {καὶ | kaí} and reinforced by autos {αὐτός | autós} ‘he himself’. This structure layers descriptive emphasis on both his official role and his wealth.
