Exegesis
The verse begins with the genitive construction hekatontarchou de tinos doulos {Ἑκατοντάρχου δέ τινος δοῦλος | hekatontárkhou dè tinós doúlos}, literally “of a centurion but a certain servant,” which English smooths as “A centurion had a servant.”
The indefiniteness of tinos {τινός | tinós} keeps the centurion unnamed to focus on his role.
In context — Luke 7:2
A centurion had a servant who was seriously ill , near death, and the centurion valued him greatly.
