This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Then we knew (tote epegnōmen). Second aorist (ingressive) active indicative of epiginōskō. Then we recognized. See note on Act 27:39.
Was called (kaleitai). Present passive indicative retained in indirect discourse.
Melita (Melitē). Not Miletenē as only B reads, a clerical error, but retained in the text of Westcott and Hort because of B. Page notes that the island was Malta as is shown from the name, the location, the presence of a ship from Alexandria bound for Rome wintering there (Act 28:11), and the mention of Syracuse as the next stop after leaving (Act 28:12).
