Exegesis
The prepositional sequence heos epi ten thalassan {ἕως ἐπὶ τὴν θάλασσαν | héōs epì tḕn thálassan} specifies the extent of the journey, with heos giving a limit (“as far as”) and epi marking the goal (“to/upon the sea”), naturally rendered in English as “as far as the sea” or “toward the sea.”
In context — Acts 17:14
Then immediately the brothers sent Paul to go as far as the sea , but Silas and Timothy remained there.
