   * :18-20
- Adria.
  Adria strictly speaking, was the name of the Adriatic gulf,
  now the Gulf of Venice, an arm of the Mediterranean, about 400
  miles long and 140 broad, stretching along the eastern shores
  of Italy on one side, and Dalmatia, Sclavonia, and Macedonia
  on the other.  But the term Adria was extended far beyond the
  limits of this gulf, and appears to have been given to an
  indeterminate extent of sea, as we say, generally, the
  Levant.  It is observable, that the sacred historian does not
  say 'in the Adriatic gulf,' but 'in Adria,' (that is, the
  Adriatic sea, [Adrias <99>] being understood;) which, says
  Hesychius, was the same as the Ionian sea; and Strabo says
  that the Ionian gulf 'is a part of that now called the
  Adriatic.'  But not only the Ionian, but even the Sicilian
  sea, and part of that which washes Crete, were called the
  Adriatic.  Thus the scholiast on Dionysius Periegetis says,
  'they call this Sicilian sea Adria.'  And Ptolemy says that
  Sicily was bounded on the east by the Adriatic, [hupo <5259>
  Adrias <99>,] and that Crete was bounded on the west by the
  Adriatic sea, [hupo <5259> tou <5120> Adriatikos pelagos
  <3989>.]

   * :29,30
- the rudder bands.
  Or, 'the bands of the rudders;' for large vessels in ancient
  times had two or more rudders, which were fastened to the ship
  by means of bands, or chains, by which they were hoisted out
  of the water when incapable of being used.  These bands being
  loosed, the rudders would fall into their proper places, and
  serve to steer the vessel into the creek, which they had in
  view, and hoisted.

   * :22,24 Ps 107:28-30 Am 9:9 Joh 6:39,40 2Co 1:8-10 1Pe 4:18
- land.
  Melita, now Malta, the island on which Paul and his companions
  were cast, is situate in the Mediterranean sea, about fifty
  miles from the coast of Sicily, towards Africa; and is one
  immense rock of soft white free-stone, twenty miles long,
  twelve in its greatest breadth, and sixty in circumference.
  Some, however, with the learned Jacob Bryant, are of opinion
  that this island was Melita in the Adriatic gulf, near
  Illyricum; but it may be sufficient to observe, that the
  course of the Alexandrian ship, first to Syracuse and then to
  Rhegium, proves that it was the present Malta, as the proper
  course from the Illyrian Melita would have been first to
  Rhegium, before it reached Syracuse, to which indeed it need
  not have gone at all.
