ἄλογον & μοι δοκεῖ πέμποντα δέσμιον, μὴ καὶ & σημᾶναι
illogical & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἄλογον Γάρ μοί δοκεῖ πέμποντα δέσμιον μή καί τάς κατʼ αὐτοῦ αἰτίας σημᾶναι)
If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative particle not and the negative adjective unreasonable. Alternate translation: [it seems reasonable to me, sending a prisoner, that I should state]

OET (OET-RV) because it doesn’t seem logical to me to transport a prisoner to Romai if there’s no charges specified against him.”
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
