Exegesis
The aorist main verb ēgagon {ἤγαγον | ḗgagon} ‘they brought’ governs the first clause, with the prepositional phrase heōs Athēnōn {ἕως Ἀθηνῶν | héōs Athēnôn} ‘as far as Athens’ specifying the extent of the journey.
In context — Acts 17:15
But those who were conducting Paul brought him as far as Athens, and having received a command for Silas and Timothy that they should come to him as quickly as possible, they departed.
