SYRTIS
sir'-tis (surtis): revizirana verzija (britanska i američka) za "živi pesak" u Del 27:17 ">Del 27:17 . Ove peščane banke, uz severnu obalu Afrike, od davnina su smatrane izvorom opasnosti za pomorce. Vergilije ih spominje (Aen. iv.40). Tokom Pavlovog putovanja, brod, gonjen olujnim vetrom, Euraquilo, bio je u opasnosti da bude bačen na njih.

Quicksands
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.
