In the world of both Bible commentators and translators two different views are offered on the function and meaning of the expression περὶ οὗ as used in Acts 25.18. The central question is whether this expression functions as a direct reference to the similar expression in Acts 25.7, or whether it has its conventional meaning. In this study the author analyses both views, and argues that one of these views is not tenable.
