BDAG gives one meaning for PROS as "with reference/regard to". But the examples given do not really fit mine. For my case one would get: 

PROAGEIN EIS TO PERAN, PROS BHQSAIDAN
= 
"go on ahead to the other side, with reference/respect to Bethsaida"

My question is, is this (from the Greek) an acceptable understanding? One would have expected KATENANTI, EX ENANTIAS or something like that. 


Best wishes
