Exegesis
Finally, the prepositional phrase eis ten thalassan {εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν | eis tḕn thá-las-san} indicates the destination (‘into the sea’). In English, the participial construction is rendered as a temporal clause and the imperfect as a continuous action, while the circumstantial participle becomes a prepositional phrase to reflect the original syntax.
