NETBible

After we sighted Cyprus¹ and left it behind on our port side,² we sailed on to Syria and put in³ at Tyre,⁴ because the ship was to unload its cargo there.

NET Notes

¹sn Cyprus is a large island in the Mediterranean off the south coast of Asia Minor.

²sn The expression left it behind on our port side here means “sailed past to the south of it” since the ship was sailing east.

³tn BDAG 531 s.v. κατέρχομαι 2 states, “arrive, put in, nautical t.t. of ships and those who sail in them, who ‘come down’ fr. the ‘high seas’…ἔις τι at someth. a harbor 18:22; 21:3; 27:5.”

⁴sn Tyre was a city and seaport on the coast of Phoenicia. From Patara to Tyre was about 400 mi (640 km). It required a large cargo ship over 100 ft (30 m) long, and was a four to five day voyage.
