Exegesis
The conjunction kai {καὶ | kai} coordinates a second clause built on a circumstantial participle plus main verb structure: proskalesamenos {προσκαλεσάμενος | pros-ka-le-SA-me-nos} is an aorist middle participle, nominative masculine singular, sharing the subject Pilate and best taken temporally (‘after summoning’ or ‘when he had summoned’).
In context — Mark 15:44
But Pilate marveled whether He was already dead, and summoning the centurion he asked him whether He had died long ago.
