Hello,
The direction of the boat is EIS TO PERAN. Is it possble PROS BHQSAIDAN refers to the orientation of the shore on the other side, indicating that the shore is facing or toward Bethsaida?

Just a thought

I think Dr. Conrad is correct here (though more so
with a Dative); it can denote "in the vicinity of" or
"next to." But with verbs of going/leading/advancing,
I think the PROS almost always denotes the direction
TOWARD WHICH one is going/advancing, and I'm not sure
I can think of PROS with the idea of AWAY FROM WHICH
one is going (even in the sense of "with reference to
X"). Can you cite one such example with a verb of motion?
