To wear away ( κλινειν ). Old verb usually transitive, to bend or bow down. Many compounds as in English decline, incline, recline, clinic ( κλινη, bed), etc. Luke alone in the N.T. uses it intransitively as here. The sun was turning down towards setting.

Get victuals ( ευρωσιν επισιτισμον ). Ingressive aorist active of ευρισκω, very common verb.
