And running under a certain island
Or below a certain island and hard by, it or under the sea shore
of it, where the sea might be smoother, the wind not being there
so strong:
which is called Clauda:
by Ptolomy F24 it is called Claudus, and was near
the island of Crete, and now called Gozo. The Vulgate Latin and
Ethiopic versions, and some copies, read "Cauda"; and there was
an island near to Crete, which was called Gaudos F25, and
is thought to be the place here meant:
we had much work to come by the boat;
which they had with them to go ashore in, or to betake themselves
to in case of shipwreck; and which in this storm was in danger of
being dashed to pieces against the ship, or lost; and it was with
some difficulty that they came at it, and took it up into the
ship.
