Exegesis
The verse opens with the prepositional phrase en de tois peri ton topon ekeinon {Ἐν δὲ τοῖς περὶ τὸν τόπον ἐκεῖνον | En dè toîs perì tón tópon ekeînon} “now in the areas around that place,” which links this scene spatially to the shipwreck location.
In context — Acts 28:7
Now in the areas surrounding that place there were estates belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us and hosted us kindly for three days.
