Exegesis
The goal is marked by eis Samothráikēn {εἰς Σαμοθρᾴκην | eis Samothráikēn} ‘to Samothrace’.
A parallel eis phrase marks the next destination: eis Néan Pólin {εἰς Νέαν Πόλιν | eis Néan Pólin} ‘to New City (Neapolis)’, thereby preserving the sequence of departure, direct navigation, and sequential arrival.
In context — Acts 16:11
Therefore, having set sail from Troas , we sailed a straight course to Samothrace , and the next day went on to Neapolis.
