   In Acts 16:11, the aorist active indicative first-plural form occurs in the report of travel from Troas toward Samothrace and then Neapolis; the APB renders the clause “sailed straight.” In Acts 21:1, the aorist active nominative masculine plural participle occurs before arrivals at Cos, Rhodes, and Patara, and the APB likewise renders “sailed straight.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Acts 16:11 and Acts 21:1, the APB presents the travel with the same phrase, “sailed straight.” This confirms the overall travel context rather than isolating every element of the verb's contribution.
