Kirjeldus
SYRTIS
sir'-tis (surtis): uuem versioon (Briti ja Ameerika) vorm "kiirliivade" jaoks Apostlite teod [Ap 27:17 ]. Need liivamadalad, mis asuvad Aafrika põhjarannikul, on juba varastest aegadest olnud meremeestele ohtlikud. Vergilius viitab neile (Aeneis iv.40). Pauluse teekonnal oli laev, mida ajas tormituul Euraquilo, ohus nende peale heitmisega.

found only in (Acts 27:17), the rendering of the Greek Syrtis. On the north coast of Africa were two localities dangerous to sailors, called the Greater and Lesser Syrtis. The former of these is probably here meant. It lies between Tripoli and Barca, and near Cyrene. The Lesser Syrtis lay farther to the west.
