{With Drusilla his wife} (sun Drousill(8869) t(8869) idi(8369)
gunaiki). Felix had induced her to leave her former husband
Aziz, King of Emesa. She was one of three daughters of Herod
Agrippa I (Drusilla, Mariamne, Bernice). Her father murdered
James, her great-uncle Herod Antipas slew John the Baptist, her
great-grandfather (Herod the Great) killed the babes of
Bethlehem. Perhaps the mention of Drusilla as "his own wife" is
to show that it was not a formal trial on this occasion. Page
thinks that she was responsible for the interview because of her
curiosity to hear Paul. {Sent for} (metepempsato). First aorist
middle of metapemp(935c) as usual ( Ac 10:5 ).
