Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).

Note 1 topic: translate-tense
ὁ Φῆστος & φησιν
¬the Festus & /is/_saying
To call attention to a development in the story, here Luke uses the present tense in past narration. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: “Festus said”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
τὰ πολλά σε γράμματα εἰς μανίαν περιτρέπει
the great you learning to madness /is/_turning
Festus is speaking of learning as if it were a living thing that was turning Paul from sanity to insanity. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “You have become insane from learning so much”
