a
The word is "helmsman," or "pilot," (kybernētēs) rather than "shipmaster," as in the KJV and RV. Nauklēros was rather the skipper or shipmaster.
b
The T. R. give "the company in ships," the Edd. have "that saileth to a place," meaning every passenger for a place, rather than a coaster (i.e., one who does not go out to sea), as the last clause embraces as many as ply the sea.
