1) 賽耳底, 在非洲或介於迦太基與塞利奈以加之間利比亞海的兩個地方的名字,   
   充滿淺灘與沙洲, 也因此對船有破壞性; 西賽耳底, 在塞西那與麥寧斯[Meninx]   
   兩島間 (或者在 Zeitha 與 Brachodes兩海岬間), 被稱為小賽耳底,    
   東賽耳底 (從塞法雷海岬西邊到延申到保瑞恩[Boreum] 為東邊) 稱為賽耳底;    
   後者必是在使徒行傳 27:17中被提到那一個, 因為在保羅離開高大   
   出海後的這艘船很容易遭海難

1) Syrtis, the name of two places in the African or Libyan Sea 
   between Carthage and Cyrenaicia, full of shallows and sandbanks, 
   and therefore destructive to ships; the western Syrtis, between 
   the islands Cercina and Meninx (or the promontories of Zeitha and 
   Brachodes), was called Syris minor, the eastern (extending from 
   the promontories of Cephalae on the west to that of Boreum on the 
   east) was called Syris major; this latter must be the one referred 
   to in Acts 27:17, for upon this the ship in which Paul was sailing 
   might easily be cast after leaving Crete
