Traveling by foot · dominant
The adverbial form marks the crowds' manner of travel in contrast to boat travel. In Mark 6:33 the APB renders that many people “hurried on foot from all the cities” and arrived ahead; in Matthew 14:13 it renders that the crowds “followed him on foot from the cities.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across both verses, the APB explicitly uses “on foot” for the crowds' movement.
