Exegesis
The temporal expression apo prōtēs hēmeras {ἀπὸ πρώτης ἡμέρας | apó prṓtēs hēméras} sets the starting point of their acquaintance with Paul, further specified by the relative clause aph hēs epeben eis tēn Asian {ἀφʼ ἧς ἐπέβην εἰς τὴν Ἀσίαν | aph hēs epébēn eis tēn Asían}, indicating the precise moment he first set foot in the province.
In context — Acts 20:18
And as they came to him, he said to them, "You yourselves know from the first day that I set foot in Asia how I was with you the whole time ."
