Had sailed slowly - By reason of the prevalence of the western winds, Act 27:4. Over against Cnidus - This was a city standing on a promontory of the same name in Asia Minor, in the part of the province of Caria called Doris, and a little northwest of the island of Rhodes. The wind not suffering us - The wind repelling us in that direction; not permitting us to hold on a direct course, we were driven off near to Crete. We sailed under Crete - See Act 27:
