Exegesis
The finite verb katentesan {κατήντησαν | katḗntēsan} “they arrived” carries the main narrative progression, while the prepositional phrase eis Kaisareian {εἰς Καισάρειαν | eis Kaisáreian} specifies the destination as Caesarea, the provincial center of Roman authority.
In context — Acts 25:13
But after some days had passed, Agrippa the king and Bernice arrived at Caesarea to greet Festus.
