Ver. 10. θεωρῶ: here used of the result of experience and observation, not of a revelation, cf. xvii. 22, xix. 26, xxi. 20.— θεωρῶ Sti. . " µέλλειν ἔσεσθαι: anacoluthon. ὅτι: for- gotten by the number of words inter- vening in the flow of speech—a vivid dramatic touch; cf. Xen., Hell., ii., 2, 2, see Blass, Gram., p. 279, Winer-Moulton, xliv., 8, A 2. µέλλειν ἔσεσθαι, cf. xi. 28, xxiv. I5, 25, only in Luke, Simcox, Language of the N.T., Ῥ. 120. μετὰ ὕβρεως καὶ πολλῆς ζημίας, cf. ver. 21: “with injury and much loss,” A. and R.V. ὕβρις: used of the injury inflicted by the elements, injuria tempestatis, cf. Jos., Ant., iii., 6,4. τὴν ἀπὸ τῶν ὄμβρων ὕβριν: Anthol., vii., 291, 3. δείσασα θαλάττης ὕβριν: Grimm-Thayer renders “injury inflicted by the violence of a tempest,”’ and this well combines the active and passive shades of meaning;
«ἔσεσθαι τὸν πλοῦν.

- especially Blass, Pref. to B text, pp. x., xi.
for the passive signification of ὕβρις cf. 2 Cor. xii. 10. {nptav: only elsewhere in, Paul, cf. Phil. iii. 7, 8. οὐ µόνον: occurs regularly with the infinitive in the N.T. instead of μὴ µόνον, Burton, p. 183. Φόρτου, see critical note, if we read φορτίου the word which is dim. in form not in significance is often found of the freight of a ship; but see also Blass and Wetstein, in loco, for distinction between Φορτίον and φόρτος.
Ver. 11. 6 δὲ ἑκατόν.: the centurion evidently presides at the Council as the superior officer, see Ramsay, St. Paul, pp. 324, 325, but, as Wendt notes (and so Blass), the majority decide, not the centurion alone.—7@ κυβερ. καὶ τῷ -vaunA. : ‘to the master and to the owner of the ship,” A. and R.V., better “to the pilot and the captain”’; ναύκληρος was not the owner, although the word might denote ownership as well as command of the ship, for the ship if it was a corn ship would belong to the imperial service, and would form a vessel of the Alexandrian fleet. In Breusing’s view, p. 160, ναύκ- ‘Anpos is owner of the ship, but κυβερνήτης is better rendered, he thinks, “captain ”’ than “pilot,” cf. "Ρα, Mor., "807 B (Wetstein and Blass).—éwe(@ero μᾶλλον τοῖς λεγ.: ‘“‘locutio Lucana,”’ cf. xxviii. 24, the centurion’s conduct was natural enough; what would be said of him in ‘Rome, where provision ships for the winter were so eagerly expected, if out of timidity he, though a soldier, had hindered the captain from continuing his voyage? Breusing, pp. 161, 162, and quotations from Suet., Claudius, 18, as to the compensation offered by the em- ‘peror to merchants for losses in winter and storm. Goerne points out that it may have been also to their interest to proceed on the voyage, rather than to incur the responsibility of providing for ‘the keep of the large crew during a long Stay at Fair Havens.
Ver. 12. ἀνευθέτου: here only, but in ‘later Greek we have δύσθετος, so in Jos.
St. Luke, however, uses εὔθετος in his Gospel, ix. 62, xiv. 35 (found only once elsewhere in N.T., Heb. vi. 7). We may compare J. Smith’s 1st and 4th edition, p. 85. In the latter he points out that recent surveys show that Fair Havens may have been a very fair winter harbour, and that even on nautical grounds St. Paul’s action may have been justified, but Blass, im loco, adheres to the view that the harbour was only fit for use during the ΘΗΠΙΠΙΕΓ. --- πρὸς παραχει- µασίαν: noun only here in N.T., not found in LXX, but in Polyb. and Diod. Sic. παραχειµάσαι: only in Luke and Paul in N.T., 1 Cor. xvi. 6, cf. Acts XXVili. 11, Tit. ili. 12, not in LXX, but used by Dem., Polyb., Plut., Diod. Sic. —ot πλείονες: πλείονες (πλείους) with the article only by Luke and Paul in N.T., cf. xix. 32; by St. Paul seven times in his Epistles. Bengel well says, “plura suffragia non semper meliora’’. ---ἔθεντο βουλὴν: on the noun and its use by St. Luke see above, ii. 23, and for the phrase cf. Luke xxili. 51, in LXX, Ps. xii. 2 (Judg. xix. 30, A al.); so also in classical ἄτεε]ς.---ἀναχθῆναι: “to put to sea,” R.V., see on xiii. 13.--εἴ πως δύναιντο: on the optative see Simcox, Language of the N.T., p. 172; and Burton, p. 111; ¢f. Mark xi. 13, Acts viii. 22, xviii. 27, Rom. i. 10, xi. 14, Phil. iii. χτ---καταντήσαντες: Lucan and Pauline, see above, xvi. 1.—eis Φοίνικα, Strabo, Χ., 43 Ptolemy, ΠΠ., 17. Generally taken as = modern Lutro, so Ramsay, Alford, Renan, Rendall, Blass, J. Smith (pp. 87, 88), Lewin, Rendall, Plumptre, and Muir in Hastings’ B.D., ‘‘ Fair Havens’’; so amongst recent German writers on this voyage, cf. Breusing, p. 162, and Goerne, u. S., Ῥ. 360, both of whom quote Findlay, Mediterranean Directory, p. 67, “Port Lutro, the ancient Phcenix, or Pheenice, is the only bay on the south coast where a vessel could be quite secure in winter”; but on the other hand Hackett, in loco, Wordsworth,
