Exegesis
The nominative participle euthydromēsantes {εὐθυδρομήσαντες | euthudromḗsantes} ‘having run a straight course’ functions as a circumstantial participle modifying the main verb ēlthomen {ἤλθομεν | ḗlthomen} ‘we came,’ indicating the manner of travel.
In context — Acts 21:1
After we had parted from them and put out to sea, we sailed a straight course and reached Cos; on the next day we arrived at Rhodes, and from there at Patara.
