[B-Greek] hO KAI EPOIHSA? (Acts 26:10)

I think youre taking it the way BDF does, so youre in good company. I guess
its the infinitive DEIN that sits oddly for me if I assume that reading. It
makes me want to take hO as referring to POLLA ENANTIA PRAXAI or even PRAXAI
(note transcription of XI), if that were possible. But youre probably right.

You have me confused.  I'm not sure what your problem might be here.

hOS refers back to PROS TO ONOMA IHSOU TOU NAZWRAIOU DEIN POLLA ENANTIA
PRACAI resuming it with the statement that he did such.  Am I missing your
question?

Acts 26:9-10 reads,



EGW MEN OUN EDOXA EMAUTWi PROS TO ONOMA IHSOU TOU N. DEIN POLLA ENANTIA
PRAXAI, hO KAI EPOIHSA EN hIEROSOLUMOIS.



Indeed, I myself was convinced that I ought to do many things against the
name of Jesus of Nazareth. And that is what I did in Jerusalem(NRSV)



BDF classifies the hO in hO KAI EPOIHSA as a relative connective (i.e. a
loosening of the connection of the relative clause to the preceding complex
sentence), something intermediate between a relative clause and a
demonstrative clause (BDF para. 458, pp. 240f.). Zerwick-Grosvenor renders
POLLA ENANTIA PRAXAI of v. 9 as to put up strong opposition. If that is
truly how a Koine Greek speaker would read the expression, does that qualify
hO (in place of hA) as a constructio ad sensum? If so, is that a
conflicting, complementary, useful or useless analysis in relation to that
of BDF? 



Obviously real Koine Greek speakers didnt have any particular problem with
hO following POLLA, or there would have been a texual variant there. Or is
hO resuming PRAXAI??
