From there we put out to sea and sailed under the lee of Cyprus because the winds were against us.

Not long after this, a hurricane-force wind called the northeaster blew down from the island.

When the ship was caught in it and could not head into the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.

We sailed slowly for many days and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus. Because the wind prevented us from going any farther, we sailed under the lee of Crete off Salmone.
