Acts 27:6

Context
27:6 There the centurion 1  found 2  a ship from Alexandria 3  sailing for Italy, and he put us aboard it.

1 sn See the note on the word centurion in 10:1.

2 tn Grk “finding.” The participle εὑρών (Jeurwn) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

3 sn Alexandria (modern Alexandria) was a great city of northern Egypt which was a center for grain trade to Rome. Therefore this type of travel connection was common at the time. For a winter journey (considered hazardous) there were special bonuses and insurance provided (Suetonius, Life of Claudius 18.1-2).
