Exegesis
Within that clause, the prepositional phrase ek prōrēs {ἐκ πρῴρης | ek prōrēs} ‘from the bow’ delimits the location, with ankýras {ἀγκύρας | ankýras} ‘anchors’ as object. In translation, the genitive absolute is rendered as a main clause to reflect simultaneous background action, and the hōs clause is conveyed with “as if” or “pretending that” to capture the deceptive nuance.
Root and etymology

In context — Acts 27:30
