me-TA de treis MÊ-nas a-NÊKH-thē-men en PLOI-ō pa-ra-ke-khei-ma-KO-ti en têi NÊ-sō a-lek-san-DRI-nō pa-ra-SÊ-mō di-os-KOU-rois
Exegesis
The aorist passive verb anēchthēmen {ἀνήχθημεν | anḗchthēmen} ‘we set sail’ forms the main action, accompanied by the location phrase en ploíō {ἐν πλοίῳ | en ploíō} ‘in a ship’.
This ship is defined by the perfect participle parakekheimakóti {παρακεχειμακότι | parakekheimakóti} ‘having wintered’, which presents a completed past state, located by en tē nḗsō {ἐν τῇ νήσῳ | en tē nḗsō} ‘on the island’.
Root and etymology
sozosigma–omega–zeta–omega
“to save, deliver”
In context — Acts 28:11
After three months we set sail in a ship of Alexandria that had wintered on the island, and its figurehead was the Dioscuri.
