Exegesis
The prepositional phrase eis tēn polin {εἰς τὴν πόλιν | eis tēn pólīn} specifies the direction of movement.
The prepositional phrase syn tō Barnaba {σὺν τῷ Βαρναβᾷ | syn tō Barnabā} shows accompaniment, and the final eis Derbēn {εἰς Δέρβην | eis Dérbēn} again marks destination. In English, the genitive absolute is rendered with a temporal–circumstantial clause (“as” / “while”), and the participial sequence is expressed with finite verbs to maintain natural subject–verb–object order and clear temporal progression.
In context — Acts 14:20
But as the disciples stood around him, he rose and entered the city, and on the next day he departed with Barnabas for Derbe.
