13 Y soplando el austro, pareciéndoles que ya tenían lo que deseaban, alzando [velas], iban cerca de la costa de Creta.

14 Mas no mucho después dió en ella un viento repentino, que se llama Euroclidón.

15 Y siendo arrebatada la nave, y no pudiendo resistir contra el viento, [la] dejamos, y éramos llevados.

16 Y habiendo corrido á sotavento de una pequeña isla que se llama Clauda, apenas pudimos ganar el esquife:

17 El cual tomado, usaban de remedios, ciñendo la nave; y teniendo temor de que diesen en la Sirte, abajadas las velas, eran así llevados.
