1. And when it was decided that we set sail to Italy, they were handing over both Rav Sha'ul and some other prisoners to a centurion, Julius by name, of the Imperial Cohort.
2. And having embarked in an oniyah of Adramyttium about to sail to the ports along the coast of Asia, we set sail, Aristarchus a Macedonian of Thessalonica being with us.
3. The next day, we put in at a harbor in Tzidon; and Julius treated Rav Sha'ul with kindness, permitting him to be cared for by his chaverim.
4. And from there, having put out to sea, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus because the winds were against us.
5. Then having sailed across the open sea along the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came down to Myra of Lycia.
6. And there the centurion found an Alexandrian oniyah sailing to Italy and put us on board.
7. But for many yamim we sailed slowly and with difficulty along the coast of Cnidus, and as the wind was not permitting us to go vaiter (farther), we sailed under the lee of Crete off Salmone.
8. And with difficulty sailing past it, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
9. And since considerable time had been lost and it was already unsafe for a voyage, because Yom Kippur had already come and gone; therefore, Rav Sha'ul gave them this eitza (suggestion),
10. Saying to them, "Anashim, I see that the voyage will be hardship and much peril, not only of the cargo and the oniyah, but also of our lives."
11. But the centurion was persuaded by the pilot and the owner rather than by the dvarim of Rav Sha'ul.
12. But the port being unfavorably situated for spending the winter, the majority decided to set sail from there, if somehow they could reach Phoenix to spend the winter. It was a harbor of Crete, facing southwest and northwest.
