˱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, even though that would have been the shortest route.

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.
