Exegesis
Finally, the prepositional phrase eis auton {εἰς αὐτόν | eis autón} ‘toward him’ expresses the direction of Paul’s restored gaze, so the translations “looked at him” and “looked straight at him” both reflect the orientation implied by eis.
Root and etymology
diōkōdelta–iota–omega–kappa–omega

In context — Acts 22:13
