Exegesis
The prepositional phrase epi tes ges {ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς | e-pí tês gês} indicates the new location, and eis hēn hypegon {εἰς ἣν ὑπῆγον | eis hḗn hy-pê-gon} is a relative clause that specifies the intended destination. English renders the idiomatic sequence as “the boat was at” or “reached” to convey the completed arrival implied by the aorist and the adverbial eutheos.
