Ver. 31. οἱ μὲν οὖν . . . τῇ δὲ ἐπαύ- ptov: Rendall, appendix on μὲν οὖν, p. 162. Page finds the antithesis in pera δὲ, xxiv. I, referring the five days there not to Paul’s arrival in Czsarea, but to his despatch from Jerusalem by Lysias, ‘so then the soldiers, etc. . . . but after five days . . .”’ (see also note below).— ἀναλαβόντες, cf. xx. 13.-- διὰ (τῆς) νυκ- τὸς: ‘‘by night,” this use of διά with genitive of time passed through (cf. i. 3) is comparatively rare, Luke v. 5, Heb. ii. 15, except in almost adverbial phrases as here, cf. v. 19, xvi. 9, xvii. 10, Simcox, Language of the N.T., p. 140.—els τὴν ᾽Αντιπατρίδα: founded by Herod the Great, on the road from Jerusalem to Czsarea, not apparently as a fortress but as a pleasant residence, giving it its name in honour of his father, most pro- bably on the site now called Rds el ‘Ain, “the spring-head,” and not where Ro- binson placed it, on the site of the present Kefr Saba. The more modern site, the discovery of which is due to Conder, is more 1n accordance with the abundant supply of water referred to by Josephus. It is to be noted that while Josephus in one passage identifies Antipatris with Kefr Saba, in another his description is more general, and he places it in the Plain of Kefr Saba (for notices cf. Ant., Milley ποστ σνι 5, ο, B.S, 11., (21, 9): They were now more than half way to
Cesarea, and the road traversed the open plain so that they were no longer in danger ofsurprise, G.A. Smith, Historical Geography, p. 165, B.D.*, Hastings’ B.D. (Conder).
