ὑπεπλεύσαμεν τὴν Κύπρον
˱we˲_sailed_under ¬the Cyprus
The expression sailed under does not mean that the travelers sailed south of the island of Cyprus, such as Luke describes in [21:3](../21/03.md), even though that would have been the shortest route. Rather, sailed under means that the ship kept close to the northern shore of the island, which loomed above the ship and blocked the wind. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express that meaning plainly. However, if the people of your culture are familiar with sea travel, you could use the corresponding expression that is most natural in your language. Alternate translation: [we stayed close to the northern shore of Cyprus]
