Footnotes

  1. 37 A few early (א* B Ψ [gig] {sa [bo]}) read περιελόντες (perielontes, “[From there we] cast off [and arrived at Rhegium]”; cf. Acts 27:40). The other major variant, περιελθόντες (perielthontes, “[we] sailed from place to place”), is found in 𝔓74 א2 A 066 1739 𝔐 lat sy. Although περιελόντες is minimally attested, it is found in the better witnesses. As well, it is a more difficult reading, for its meaning as a nautical term is uncertain, requiring something like “τὰς ἀγκύρας be supplied = ‘we weighed anchor’ ” ( περιαιρέω 1). It thus best explains the rise of the other readings.
  2. 38 Rhegium was a city on the southern tip of Italy. It was 80 mi (130 km) from Syracuse.
  3. 39 Grk “after one day, a south wind springing up, on the second day.” The genitive absolute construction with the participle ἐπιγενομένου (epigenomenou) has been translated as a clause with a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
  4. 40 Puteoli was a city on the western coast of Italy south of Rome. It was in the Bay of Naples some 220 mi (350 km) to the north of Rhegium. Here the voyage ended; the rest of the journey was by land.
