Exegesis
The prepositional phrase kata ten Mysian {κατὰ τὴν Μυσίαν | ka-tá tḕn My-sí-an} uses kata with the accusative to indicate movement through Mysia.
The imperfect epeirazοn {ἐπείραζον | e-peí-ra-zon} “kept attempting” conveys repeated effort, with the infinitive poreuthenai {πορευθῆναι | po-reu-thē-nai} specifying “to go” and the prepositional eis ten Bithynian {εἰς τὴν Βιθυνίαν | eis tḕn Bi-thy-ní-an} marking the intended destination.
In context — Acts 16:7
When they came to Mysia, they kept attempting to go into Bithynia , but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.
