The accusative singular masculine form occurs as the destination the travelers hoped to reach; in Acts 27:12 the APB renders the clause "they might reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete" before stating their plan to winter there.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Acts 27:12, the APB presents the term as "Phoenix, a harbor of Crete." This identifies the verse's presentation rather than a precise translation mapping.
