Exegesis
The participle pleon {πλέον | plé-on} ‘sailing’, together with eis ten Italian {εἰς τὴν Ἰταλίαν | eis tḕn I-ta-lí-an} ‘to Italy’, specifies the vessel’s intended route.
The main verb enebibasen {ἐνεβίβασεν | e-ne-bí-ba-sen} ‘put on board’ takes hemas {ἡμᾶς | hē-mâs} ‘us’ as its direct object and is completed by the prepositional phrase eis auto {εἰς αὐτό | eis au-tó} ‘into it’, marking movement onto the ship. Luke’s paratactic style is maintained, with the centurion’s authority and the travel transition presented succinctly.
In context — Acts 27:6
There the centurion came upon an Alexandrian ship bound for Italy and put us aboard .
