Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
βολίσαντες
/having/_taken_soundings
The expression taking soundings is a nautical term that describes sailors determining the depth of the water. Sailors measure this by dropping a marked line with a weight tied to the end of it into the water. If your language does not have a comparable nautical term, you could state the meaning plainly in your translation. Alternate translation: “measuring the depth of the sea water”
Note 2 topic: translate-numbers
ὀργυιὰς εἴκοσι & ὀργυιὰς δεκαπέντε
fathoms twenty & fathoms fifteen
A fathom is a unit of measurement of the depth of water. One fathom is equal to about two meters or about six feet. Alternate translation: “40 meters … 30 meters” or “120 feet … 90 feet”
