Exegesis
The main finite verb epesen {ἔπεσεν | épesen} “he fell” resumes the narrative, framed by the prepositional phrase apo tou tristēgou kato {ἀπὸ τοῦ τριστέγου κάτω | apó tou tristégou kátō} “from the third story down,” emphasizing both height and downward motion.
In context — Acts 20:9
And a certain young man by the name of Eutychus was sitting in the window , being overcome by deep sleep as Paul was speaking at length. Having been overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead .
