Note 2 at Acts 27:27: This is apparently the fourteenth night since the storm hit. In Acts 27:19, Luke mentions that on the third day of the storm they cast out the tackling of the ship. Paul started his fast sometime after the storm began and he ended it before this fourteenth night.

Note 3 at Acts 27:27: The name Adria referred to the body of water between Italy and Greece and extended southward into the Mediterranean Sea. The name apparently came from a town in northern Italy named Atria or Adria at the mouth of the Po river. Adria originally applied to only the immediate area of water around the town but was later extended to include the area between Crete (see note 10 at Acts 27:7, p. ???) and Melita (see note at Acts 28:1, p. ???).
