Exegesis
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.
In context — Luke 19:2
And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus , and he himself was a chief tax collector , and he himself was rich.
