Exegesis
The aorist verb elthomen conveys the completed action of arrival, governing the prepositional phrase eis topon tina {εἰς τόπον τινὰ | eîs tó-pon ti-nà} ‘into a certain place’, further defined by the attributive participle kaloumenon {καλούμενον | ka-loú-me-non} ‘called’, which delays the proper name Kalous Limenas {Καλοὺς Λιμένας} until the end of the clause to mirror narrative suspense.
