especially because thou art expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.

The more so, because you are expert in all questions to do with the Jews and their ways: so I make my request to you to give me a hearing to the end.

μαλιστα επειδη γνωριζεις παντα τα παρα τοις Ιουδαιοις εθιμα και ζητηματα· οθεν δεομαι σου να με ακουσης μετα μακροθυμιας.

Especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.
