Exegesis
The accusative proper nouns Lystran kai Derbēn {Λύστραν καὶ Δέρβην | Lýstran kaí Dérbēn} stand in apposition, naming the particular cities within the region.
The final coordinated phrase kai tēn perikhōron {καὶ τὴν περίχωρον | kaí tḕn períchōron} “and the surrounding region” broadens the scope to include the countryside around those cities, forming an additive expansion. In English, the temporal nuance of the participle is rendered with “when” / “realizing,” while the sequence of prepositional and appositional phrases is maintained to preserve the geographic specificity and progressive widening from cities to their environs.
In context — Acts 14:6
When they realized this, they fled into the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the surrounding region .
