7. We sailed slowly for many days, and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus, and as the wind did not allow us to proceed, we sailed under the lee of Crete off Salmone.

9. As much time had been lost and as the voyage was now dangerous, because the Day of Atonement was already over, Paul advised them,
