Acts 23:18
Paul the prisoner (o desmiov Paulov). Bound (desmiov) to a soldier, but not with two chains (Acts 21:33), and with some freedom to see his friends as later (Acts 28:16), in military custody (custodia militaris). This was better than custodia publica (public custody), the common prison, but more confining.
Who hath something to say to thee (exonta ti lalhsai soi). Same idiom as in verse Acts 23:17, Acts 23:19, but lalhsai here instead of apaggeilai.
