Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ When a moderate southerly breeze sprang up, they thought they had secured their object, and after weighing anchor they sailed along the coast of Crete, close inshore. ¹⁴ Presently down rushed a hurricane of a wind called Euroclydon; ¹⁵ the ship was caught and unable to face the wind, so we gave up and let her drive along. ¹⁶ Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we managed with great difficulty to get the boat hauled in; ¹⁷ once it was hoisted aboard, they used ropes to undergird the ship, and in fear of being stranded on the Syrtis they lowered the sail and lay to. ¹⁸ As we were being terribly battered by the storm, they had to jettison the cargo next day, ¹⁹ while two days later they threw the ship's gear overboard with their own hands; ²⁰ for many days neither sun nor stars could be seen, the storm raged heavily, and at last we had to give up all hope of being saved.
