Exegesis
The directional phrase eis Seleukeian {εἰς Σελεύκειαν | eis Se-leú-kei-an} specifies the destination, and the adverb ekeithen {ἐκεῖθέν | e-keí-thén} ‘from there’ with te {τε | te} links to apepleusan {ἀπέπλευσαν | a-pé-pleu-san}, coordinating the land descent with the sea voyage to Kupron {Κύπρον | Ký-pron}.
In context — Acts 13:4
Therefore, they, having been sent out by the Holy Spirit , went down to Seleucia and from there sailed to Cyprus .
