Exegesis
A sequence of prepositional phrases with eis {εἰς | eis} plus accusative objects (tēn Kō, tēn Rhodon, Patara) maps the itinerary, with the dative adverbial phrase tē de hexēs {τῇ δὲ ἑξῆς | tē dè hexēs} ‘on the next day’ marking temporal progression, and kakeithen {κἀκεῖθεν | kakeîthen} ‘and from there’ linking the stages of the journey. The translation preserves this chronological and spatial sequence through clear temporal markers and coordinated phrases.
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.
