In Acts 10:17, διερωτήσαντες is an aorist active masculine plural participle describing the men sent by Cornelius as they seek information about Simon's home. The APB renders the clause "after inquiring for the home of Simon," before reporting that they stood at the gate.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Acts 10:17, the APB presents the action as "inquiring for the home of Simon." This wording confirms the clause's overall search for the house rather than isolating every element of the Greek form.
