Thayer's Greek Lexicon
ἀφικνέομαι, ἀφικνοῦμαι: 2 aorist ἀφικομην; (ἱκνέομαι to come); very often in Greek writings from Homer down; "to come from (ἀπό) a place (but often the preposition has almost lost its force); to come to, arrive at"; in the N. T. once, tropically: Rom 16:19 (ὑμῶν ὑπακοή εἰς πάντας ἀφίκετο your obedience has reached the ears of (A. V. is come abroad unto) all men; Sir 47:16 εἰς νήσους ἀφίκετο τό ὄνομα σου. Josephus, Antiquities 19, 1, 16 εἰς τό θέατρον ... ἀφίκετο ὁ λόγος).
