/having/_taken_hold and ˱of˲_the hand ˱of˲_him
The chiliarch taking hold of the hand of Paul’s nephew was more than was needed simply to lead the nephew to a private location. This was a symbolic action that assured the nephew that the chiliarch would protect him and that he could therefore speak safely and confidentially. If this would not be clear to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action. Alternate translation: “taking hold of his hand to reassure him”
23:16-22 Paul’s nephew thwarted the murderous plot by reporting it to one of the Roman officers.
