Exegesis
The verse opens with a genitive absolute, aneuthetou tou limenos hyparchontos {ἀνευθέτου τοῦ λιμένος ὑπάρχοντος | a-neu-thé-tou toû li-mé-nos hy-pár-khon-tos}, expressing causality as “since the harbor was unsuitable.”
In context — Acts 27:12
Since the harbor was unsuitable for wintering, the majority decided to depart from there, hoping that somehow they might reach Phoenix and winter there—a harbor of Crete facing the southwest and the northwest.
