Exegesis
The prepositional phrase eis tēn Rhōmēn {εἰς τὴν Ῥώμην | eis tēn Rhṓ-mēn} “into Rome” marks movement toward the goal city, and the aorist ēlthamen {ἤλθαμεν | ḗl-tha-men} completes the narrative with a simple past arrival. In translation, the participial construction is retained more literally in the formal rendering (“having found”) to preserve the temporal nuance, while the dynamic version reshapes it as a temporal clause (“when we found”) for natural contemporary English. The passive plus infinitive construction (pareklēthēmen … epimeinai) is rendered with “were invited to remain / invited to stay” to maintain both the sense of hospitality and the dependence of the infinitive on the passive verb. Houtōs is expressed as “thus” or “in this way” to preserve its inferential force connecting the hospitality at that location with the eventual arrival in Rome.
