Exegesis
A causal participle phoboumenoi {φοβούμενοι | phobóumenoi} “fearing,” with the negative mē {μὴ | mḕ}, governs the subjunctive ekpesosin {ἐκπέσωσιν | ekpésōsin} “they might fall,” and the prepositional phrase eis tēn Syrtin {εἰς τὴν Σύρτιν | eis tḕn Sýrtin} identifies the hazard of running aground.
In context — Acts 27:17
Having hoisted the boat, they applied supports beneath the hull to undergird the vessel; and, fearing they might run aground on the Syrtis, they lowered the gear , and so they were driven along.
