Exegesis
The correlative pair tēn te Phoinikēn kai Samareian {τὴν τε Φοινίκην καὶ Σαμάρειαν | tḕn te Phoiníkēn kaí Samáreian} unifies Phoenicia and Samaria as loci of travel.
The second nominative participle ekdiēgoumenoi {ἐκδιηγούμενοι | ekdiēgoúmenoi} ‘describing in detail’ expresses manner, with its object tēn epistrophēn tōn ethnōn {τὴν ἐπιστροφὴν τῶν ἐθνῶν | tḕn epistrophḕn tôn ethnôn} ‘the conversion of the Gentiles’.
In context — Acts 15:3
Thus, after the assembly commissioned them, they moved through Phoenicia and Samaria, offering a thorough account of the conversion of the Gentiles, and they brought abundant joy to all the brothers.
