KAI di-el-THO-ntes tên pi-si-DI-a(n) ÊL-thon eis tên pam-phy-LI-a(n)
Exegesis
The direct object of this participle is expressed by the accusative phrase ten Pisidian {τὴν Πισιδίαν | tḕn Pisidían}, treating the region as the extent through which they traveled.
It is complemented by the prepositional phrase eis ten Pamphylian {εἰς τὴν Παμφυλίαν | eis tḕn Pamphylían} 'into Pamphylia', where eis with the accusative marks movement toward and arrival at a new geographical goal. The overall structure—a participial clause followed by a finite verb—creates a smooth temporal progression: once the passing-through of Pisidia was complete, the party then arrived in Pamphylia. In translation, the formal reconstruction preserves the participial nuance with "having passed through," whereas the dynamic reconstruction captures the same temporal relationship with "After traveling ... they arrived," making the sequence explicit for contemporary readers.
In context — Acts 14:24
And having passed through Pisidia , they came into Pamphylia .
