This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
20. μήτε ἄστρων ἐπιφαινόντων ἐπὶ πλείονας ἡμέρας, nor stars shone upon us for many days. This does not imply a continuous darkness like night, but that the mist and spray made the whole sky obscure both by day and night. In such a state of things we can understand how hopeless seemed the case of the Apostle and his fellows. They were at the mercy of the storm, and could neither know the direction in which they were carried, nor see if they were nearing any danger.
λοιπόν, at length. The word thus used adverbially is common in classical Greek.
