Exegesis
The verse opens with the imperfect verb syneipeto {συνείπετο | sy-neí-pe-to} ‘was accompanying’, which sets a background, ongoing action and takes the dative pronoun autō {αὐτῷ | au-tôi} ‘him’ as its complement, referring to Paul.
In context — Acts 20:4
And Sopater son of Pyrrhus, a Berean, was accompanying him; and from among the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe and Timothy, and from Asia , Tychicus and Trophimus.
