thick; wise
Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary


LASEA is mentioned by St. Luke (Act_27:8), but by no other ancient author. It was the nearest town to Fair Havens in Crete, but it was 5 miles away, and this, apart from the inconvenience of the roadstead, would explain the reluctance of the captain of St. Paul’s ship to winter there. The ruins of Lasea were examined in 1856,—the site still bears the ancient name.

Lase'a. Act_27:8. A city of Crete, the ruins of which were discovered in 1856, a few miles to the eastward of Fair Havens.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


la-sē?a (Λάσαια, Lásaia): A town on the South coast of Crete, 5 miles East of Fair Havens (Act_27:8). The ruins were examined in 1856 by G. Brown (see Code of Hammurabi (St. P), chapter xxiii, 640). If Paul's ship was detained long at this anchorage, it would be necessary to purchase stores from Lasea; and this in addition to the inconvenience of the roadstead (see FAIR HAVENS) would probably explain the captain's reluctance to winter there.
