Both occurrences use the accusative singular form in movement and meeting clauses. In Acts 20:13 the APB renders the group as being brought “to Assos” to take Paul aboard; in Acts 20:14 it renders Paul meeting the group “at Assos” before they travel onward to Mitylene.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the place with “to Assos” in Acts 20:13 and “at Assos” in Acts 20:14. These English prepositions reflect the surrounding clauses to the original form.
