    In Acts 20:15, παρεβάλομεν is an aorist active indicative plural form within a sequence of sailing movements; the APB renders the clause "we arrived opposite Chios," before later stops at Samos and Miletus.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Acts 20:15, the APB presents the travel action as "we arrived opposite Chios." That wording confirms the verse's itinerary rather than isolating every element of the Greek form.
