And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to put to sea from thence, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter there; which is a haven of Crete, looking north-east and south-east.

And as the harbour was not a good one in which to be for the winter, the greater number of them were for going out to sea, in order, if possible, to put in for the winter at Phoenix, a harbour of Crete, looking to the north-east and south-east.

Και επειδη ο λιμην δεν ητο επιτηδειος εις παραχειμασιαν, οι πλειοτεροι εγνωμοδοτησαν να σηκωθωσι και εκειθεν, ωστε φθασαντες αν ηδυναντο εις Φοινικα, λιμενα της Κρητης βλεποντα προς τον λιβα ανεμον και προς τον χωρον, να παραχειμασωσιν εκει.

And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west.
