{Having come into the province} (epibas t(8869) eparchei(8369)).
Second aorist active participle of epibain(935c), to set foot upon.
Literally, "Having set foot upon his province." Eparcheia is a
late word for province, in N.T. only here and 23:34 . Judea was
not strictly a province, but a department (Page) of the province
of Syria which was under a _propraetor_ (legatus Caesaris)
while Judea was under a _procurator_ (epitropos). {After three
days} (meta treis h(886d)eras). So in Ac 28:17 in Rome. That is
on the third day, with a day of rest in between. Precisely the
language used of the resurrection of Jesus "after three days" =
"on the third day." So by common usage then and now.
