Exegesis
The main narrative action appears in anechthe {ἀνήχθη | anḗchthē}, an aorist passive form commonly used in nautical contexts meaning “he set sail,” with the passive focusing on the occurrence of the departure rather than the agent facilitating it.
In context — Acts 18:21
But after bidding them farewell and saying, “I will return to you again, if God is willing,” he set sail from Ephesus .
