Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
κληθέντος & αὐτοῦ
/having_been/_called & ˱of˲_him
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: “when the governor summoned Paul”
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
κατηγορεῖν
/to_be/_accusing_‹him›
The pronoun him refers to Paul. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “to accuse Paul”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
τυγχάνοντες

By we, Tertullus means himself and his fellow Jews but not Governor Felix, to whom he is speaking, so use the exclusive form of that word in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns
σοῦ & σῆς
you & your
Here the words you and your refer to Felix, the governor. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “you, Governor Felix … your”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τῷ ἔθνει τούτῳ
¬the ˱to˲_nation this
Tertullus assumes that Governor Felix will understand that by this people he means the Jewish people. You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “for the Jewish people”
