WK Translation Notes

+
a
The hurricane that caught the ship "beat down" from Crete, which appears to be the true meaning, not "arose against it," i.e., the ship, as in the KJV. The beating of the storm down the highlands of Crete seems a far more graphic account than its striking against the ship, which was a matter of course in that sea when exposed to a rushing east-north-east wind.
b
So in the oldest MSS. and Versions; but most have Euroclydon.
