This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Having no more any place in these regions (mēketi topon echōn en tois klimasin). Surprising frankness that the average preacher would hardly use on such a matter. Paul is now free to come to Rome because there is no demand for him where he is. For klima (from klinō, to incline), slope, then tract of land, region, see already 2Co 11:10; Gal 1:21 (the only N.T. examples).

A longing (epipotheian). A hapax legomenon, elsewhere epipothēsis (2Co 7:7, 2Co 7:11), from epipotheō as in Rom 1:11.

These many years (apo hikanōn etōn). “From considerable years.” So B C, but Aleph A D have pollōn, “from many years.”
