Greek Commentary for Acts 25:23
Genitive absolute, the participle agreeing in number and gender (masculine singular, ελτοντος elthontos) with Αγριππα Agrippa ερνικης Bernikēs being added as an afterthought. [source]
Παντασια Phantasia is a Koiné{[28928]}š word (Polybius, Diodorus, etc.) from the old verb πανταζω phantazō (Hebrews 12:21) and it from παινω phainō common verb to show, to make an appearance. This is the only N.T. example of παντασια phantasia though the kindred common word παντασμα phantasma (appearance) occurs twice in the sense of apparition or spectre (Matthew 14:26; Mark 6:49). Herodotus (VII. 10) used the verb πανταζω phantazō for a showy parade. Festus decided to gratify the wish of Agrippa by making the “hearing” of Paul the prisoner (Acts 25:22) an occasion for paying a compliment to Agrippa (Rackham) by a public gathering of the notables in Caesarea. Festus just assumed that Paul would fall in with this plan for a grand entertainment though he did not have to do it. Into the place of hearing (εις το ακροατηριον eis to akroatērion). From ακροαομαι akroaomai (to be a hearer) and, like the Latin auditorium, in Roman law means the place set aside for hearing, and deciding cases. Here only in the N.T. Late word, several times in Plutarch and other Koiné{[28928]}š writers. The hearing was “semi-official” (Page) as is seen in Acts 25:26. With the chief captains Χιλιαρχς Chiliarchs each a leader of a thousand. There were five cohorts of soldiers stationed in Caesarea. And the principal men of the city (και ανδρασιν τοις κατ εχοχην kai andrasin tois kat' exochēn). The use of κατ εχοχην kat' exochēn like our French phrase par excellence, occurs here only in the N.T., and not in the ancient Greek, but it is found in inscriptions of the first century a.d. (Moulton and Milligan‘s Vocabulary). Εχοχη Exochē in medical writers is any protuberance or swelling. Cf. our phrase “outstanding men.” At the command of Festus Genitive absolute again, “Festus having commanded.” [source]
