Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

ἡμέρας, οὐ πλείους ὀκτὼ ἢ δέκα

days (Some words not found in SR-GNT: διατρίψας Δέ ἐν αὐτοῖς ἡμέρας οὒ πλείους ὀκτώ ἤ δέκα καταβάς εἰς Καισάρειαν τῇ ἐπαύριον καθίσας ἐπί τοῦ βήματος ἐκέλευσεν τόν Παῦλον ἀχθῆναι)

Luke is using a figure of speech that expresses a positive meaning by using a negative word together with a word that is the opposite of the intended meaning. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [less than eight or ten days]

Note 2 topic: translate-symaction

καθίσας ἐπὶ τοῦ βήματος

˓having˒_sat_down (Some words not found in SR-GNT: διατρίψας Δέ ἐν αὐτοῖς ἡμέρας οὒ πλείους ὀκτώ ἤ δέκα καταβάς εἰς Καισάρειαν τῇ ἐπαύριον καθίσας ἐπί τοῦ βήματος ἐκέλευσεν τόν Παῦλον ἀχθῆναι)

Festus sat in the judgment seat as a symbolic action to show that he was ready to act as the judge in the case against Paul. If this would not be clear to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action. Alternate translation: [having sat in the judgment seat to show that he was ready to act as the judge in the case against Paul]

τὸν Παῦλον ἀχθῆναι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: διατρίψας Δέ ἐν αὐτοῖς ἡμέρας οὒ πλείους ὀκτώ ἤ δέκα καταβάς εἰς Καισάρειαν τῇ ἐπαύριον καθίσας ἐπί τοῦ βήματος ἐκέλευσεν τόν Παῦλον ἀχθῆναι)

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [his soldiers to bring Paul to him]
