14. and not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, that is called Euroclydon,
15. and the ship being caught, and not being able to bear up against the wind, having given [her] up, we were borne on,
16. and having run under a certain little isle, called Clauda, we were hardly able to become masters of the boat,
