Euraquilo
VIEW:51 DATA:01-04-2020
EURAQUILO (Act_27:14 RV [Note: Revised Version.] ).There is some doubt as to the reading. The Greek MSS which are esteemed to be the best read Euraklyon; so do the Bohairic Version, which was made in Egypt in the 6th or 7th cent. from a MS very like these, and the Sahidic Version made in the 3rd cent.; the Vulgate Latin revision, made towards the close of the 4th cent., reads Euroaquilo, which points to a Greek original reading Euroakylon. Our later authorities, along with the Pesh. and Hark. Syriac, read Euroclydon (so AV [Note: Authorized Version.] ). No doubt Eur(o). akylon is the correct name, and the other is an attempt to get a form capable of derivation. The word is, then, a sailors word, and expresses an E.N.E. wind, by compounding two words, a Greek word (euros) meaning E. wind, and a Latin word (aquilo) meaning N.E. wind. This is exactly the kind of wind which frequently arises in Cretan waters at the present day, swooping down from the mountains in strong gusts and squalls. The euraquilo which drove St. Pauls ship before it was the cause of the shipwreck.

ū̇-rak?wi-lō (the Revised Version (British and American) εὐρακύλων, eurakúlōn; the King James Version εὐροκλύδων, euroklúdōn; the King James Version Euroclydon, ū̇-rok?li-don): The east or northeast wind which drove Paul's ship to shipwreck at Melita (Act_27:14). The term seems to have been the sailor's term for that particular wind, and Paul uses the word which was used by them on that occasion. The difference in the text is explained by the fact that the term was not in general use and was therefore subject to being changed. The precise name is doubtful, but ?the Euraquilo? is more easily explained as a compound of Greek eúros, ?east wind,? and Latin aquilo, ?northeast wind,? hence, euraquilo, ?east northeast wind.? This agrees with the experience of navigators in those waters. For a summary of the various readings see Sanday, Appendices ad New Testament, 140. Full discussion of the circumstances are given in the Lives of Paul by various writers.
