Exegesis
The infinitive clause dounai kenson Kaisari {δοῦναι κῆνσον Καίσαρι | doûnai kênson Kaísari} supplies the specific action under scrutiny: the payment of the Roman census tax to the emperor, with the accusative kenson as the object and dative Kaisari marking the recipient.
In context — Matthew 22:17
Say therefore to us, “What does it seem to you? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar , or not?”
