Exegesis
The second clause begins with a temporal prepositional phrase meta mian hemeran {μετὰ μίαν ἡμέραν | me-TÁ MÍ-an hē-MÉ-ran} ‘after one day,’ followed by a genitive absolute epigenomenou notou {ἐπιγενομένου νότου | e-pi-ge-no-MÉ-nou NÓ-tou}, in which the participle and its genitive subject form a circumstantial clause best rendered “when a south wind had arisen.” This construction presents the change in wind as a background circumstance enabling further travel.
Root and etymology
ballōbeta–alpha–lambda–lambda–omega
“to throw, cast,”
In context — Acts 28:13
And from there, having sailed around , we arrived at Rhegium. And after one day, when a south wind arose, on the second day we came to Puteoli .
