Exegesis
The article–noun phrase tē Damaskō {τῇ Δαμασκῷ | tē Damaskō} specifies the destination of the journey, while the prepositional phrase peri mesēmbrían {περὶ μεσημβρίαν | perí mesēmbrían} adds a temporal frame, “about noon,” using peri with the accusative to indicate approximate time.
In context — Acts 22:6
But it happened to me, as I was traveling and drawing near to Damascus about noon, that suddenly from heaven a great light flashed around me.
