Σελεύκιαν
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: αὐτοὶ μὲν οὖν ἐκπεμφθέντες ὑπὸ τοῦ Ἁγίου Πνεύματος κατῆλθον εἰς Σελεύκειαν ἐκεῖθέν τε ἀπέπλευσαν εἰς Κύπρον)
The word Seleucia is the name of a city that is on the seacoast.
13:4 Barnabas and Saul’s first missionary journey was undertaken with a strong consciousness of the Holy Spirit as their guide.
• Seleucia was Antioch’s ancient seaport, located about twelve miles (20 km) west of the city at the mouth of the Orontes River.
• Their journey took them westward by sea to the island of Cyprus, which was Barnabas’s homeland (4:36).
OET (OET-LV) Therefore indeed They having_been_sent_out by the holy spirit, came_down to Seleukeia, and from_there they_sailed_away to Kupros.
OET (OET-RV) So Barnabas and Saul, having been sent by the holy spirit, went down to Seleucia at the coast and from there sailed on to the island of Cyprus.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
