Greek Commentary for Acts 21:10
Genitive absolute. Note επι epi (additional) with μενω menō as in Acts 12:16. [source]
More days (than we expected), accusative of time. A certain prophet named Agabus (προπητης ονοματι Αγαβος prophētēs onomati Agabos). A prophet like the daughters of Philip, mentioned already in connection with the famine predicted by him (Acts 11:28), but apparently not a man of prominence like Barnabas, and so no allusion to that former prophecy.

Imperfect active in Westcott and Hort, but aorist active εσημανεν esēmānen in the margin. The verb is an old one from σημα sēma Here Agabus (also in Acts 21:10) does predict a famine through the Holy Spirit. [source]
