once it was hoisted aboard, they used ropes to undergird the ship, and in fear of being stranded on the Syrtis they lowered the sail and lay to. As we were being terribly battered by the storm, they had to jettison the cargo next day, while two days later they threw the ship's gear overboard with their own hands; for many days neither sun nor stars could be seen, the storm raged heavily, and at last we had to give up all hope of being saved. When they had gone without food for a long time, Paul stood up among them and said, "Men, you should have listened to me and spared yourselves this hardship and loss by refusing to set sail from Crete.
