πρὸς αὐτὴν for αὐτῇ with אABD.

8. ἀπεκρίθη, answered. This verb is not unfrequently used both in LXX. and N.T. where no question has preceded, and often where no remark has gone before (see Deuteronomy 26:5; Deuteronomy 27:14; Daniel 2:14; Daniel 2:26; Matthew 11:25; Luke 3:16). The peculiarity here is that St Peter’s words are not an answer but a question.

The word is similarly used before a question Act. Andr. et Matth. Apocr. 26.

τοσούτου, for so much. St Peter mentioned the sum which Ananias had brought in, or perhaps it was still lying on the ground where he had first put it down.
