Salmone
VIEW:25 DATA:01-04-2020
SALMONE.A promontory at the N.E. end of Crete, now Cape Sidero. St. Pauls ship, after reaching Cnidus with difficulty, was met by a powerful N.W. wind, which forced the captain to alter the course. Off Salmone (Act_27:7) he decided to work his way westward under the lee of Crete.

The eastern promontory of Crete. Paul's voyage (Act_27:7), the wind was "contrary," therefore, we infer, blowing from the N.W. (Act_27:4), so that they "sailed slowly." Their course was past the southern point of Greece, W. by Salmone. Then we read, when they "scarce were come over against Cnidus," they made cape Salmone which bears S.W. by Salmone from Cnidus. Assuming that the ship could have made good a course of less than seven points from the wind, we arrive at the conclusion that the wind must have been between N.N.W. and W.N.W.
This undesigned coincidence remarkably confirms Luke's accuracy. (See Smith of Jordanhill's Voyage, etc., of Paul, 73-74; Conybeare and Howson's Life of Paul, 2:393.) The ship's direct course from Myra to Italy after reaching Cnidus lay N. of Crete. But the wind blowing W.N.W. (as often in the Archipelago in late summer) forced her to run under the lee of Crete in the direction of Salmone, which is the eastern point of the island. They with difficulty passed that point. From Myra to Cnidus they had been able to work up with N.W. winds, though slowly, because until they reached Cnidus they had the advantage of a weather shore, under the lee of which they had smooth water and a westerly current. But at Cnidus that advantage ceased; thence their only course was under the lee of Crete toward Salmone.

Salmone
(Σαλμώνη, of unknown etymology), a promontory in Crete, apparently forming the northeast point of the island, mentioned thus in the narrative of Paul's voyage and shipwreck: When we had scarce come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone (Act_27:7). Capt. Smith (of Jordanhill) has shown the naturalness and accuracy of this notice in his own peculiar way. The direct course of the ship, he states, from Myra to Italy, after reaching Cnidus, lay by the north side of Crete; but the wind at the time did not suffer that, blowing, as he shows, from a point somewhat to the west of northwest a wind very prevalent. in the Archipelago in late summer. Then he says, With northwest winds the ship could work up from Myra to Cnidus; because, until she reached that point, she had the advantage of a weather shore, under the lee of which she would have smooth water and a westerly current; but it would be slowly and with difficulty. At Cnidus that advantage ceased; and unless she had put into that harbor and waited for a fair wind, ler only course was to run under the lee of Crete, κατὰ Σαλμώνην, in the direction of Salmone, which is the eastern extremity of that island (Paul's Voyage and Shipwreck, ch. 2). They passed the point, the evangelist says, with some difficulty; and the same modern writer mentions the case of a squadron (a portion of the British fleet from Abukir) which tried to take the same course, but had the wind too westerly to admit of their doing so (see Lewin, St. Paul, 2, 191). SEE SHIPWRECK (of St. Paul).
The classical name for the headland is Salmonium, Sammoninum, or Samonium (Σαλμώνιον, Σαμμώνιον, Σαμώνιον, Ptolem. 3, 15, § 5; Strabo, 2, 106; 10:474, 475, 478, 489; comp. Pomp. Mela, 2, 7, § 12; Pliny, 4, 20, § 21). The name Point Salomon is now usually applied to the end of Cape Sidero, the easternmost extreme of Crete (Hock, Creta, 1, 427); but Spratt (Researches in Crete [Lond. 1865]) thinks it is rather a southern extension of that headland called Cape Plaka.
