Exegesis
A second genitive absolute ontos ēdē episphalous tou ploíou {ὄντος ἤδη ἐπισφαλοῦς τοῦ πλοίου | ón-tos ḗ-dē e-pi-spha-loûs toû plo-í-ou} adds a circumstantial state showing the voyage had become dangerous.
The causal clause dia to kai tēn nesteian ēdē parelēlythenai {διὰ τὸ καὶ τὴν νηστείαν ἤδη παρεληλυθέναι | di-à tò kaí tḕn nē-ste-í-an ḗ-dē pa-re-lē-ly-thé-nai} uses dia with an articular infinitive to explain the peril.
In context — Acts 27:9
After considerable time had passed and the voyage was already becoming dangerous because the Fast had already gone by, Paul began to advise them.
