Exegesis
This is followed by a coordinated participle kai me dynamenou antophthalmein tōi anemōi {καὶ μὴ δυναμένου ἀντοφθαλμεῖν τῷ ἀνέμῳ | kaí mḕ dy-na-mé-nou an-to-phthal-meîn tṓ-i a-né-mō-i}, which adds the ship’s inability to face the wind, with the infinitive antophthalmein as the complement of dynamenou and the dative tōi anemōi marking the opposing force.
In context — Acts 27:15
When the ship was caught and could not face the wind, we gave way and were carried along.
