{Then we knew} ( ote epegn(936d)en). Second aorist
(ingressive) active indicative of epigin(9373)k(935c). Then we
recognized. See 27:39 . {Was called} (kaleitai). Present
passive indicative retained in indirect discourse. {Melita}
(Melit(885c)). Not Mileten(885c) as only B reads, a clerical error, but
retained in the text of Westcott and Hort because of B. Page
notes that the island was Malta as is shown from the name, the
location, the presence of a ship from Alexandria bound for Rome
wintering there (verse 11 ), and the mention of Syracuse as the
next stop after leaving (verse 12 ).
