Exegesis
The infinitive apelthein {ἀπελθεῖν | apeltheîn} functions as the content of their asking, and the prepositional phrase apo tês poleōs {ἀπὸ τῆς πόλεως | apó tês póleōs} specifies departure from the city. Temporal rendering of participles and iterative phrasing for the imperfect preserve the original aspectual and sequential nuances.
In context — Acts 16:39
So they came and entreated them, and after bringing them out, they kept urging them to depart from the city .
