TO te PE-la-gos to ka-TA tên ki-li-KI-an KAI pam-phy-LY-an di-a-PLEU-san-tes ka-TÊL-tho-men eis MY-ra tês ly-KI-as
Exegesis
The destination is marked by eis Myra {εἰς Μύρα | eis Mý-ra} ‘into Myra’, with the genitive tês Lykias {τῆς Λυκίας | tês Ly-kí-as} ‘of Lycia’ specifying the regional context. In English, the participial clause is rendered with a temporal subordinate clause to preserve sequence, and kata with the accusative becomes “along” or “off the coast” to maintain the original navigational nuance.
In context — Acts 27:5
After we had sailed through the sea along Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came down to Myra in Lycia .
