Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
διαπλέω [page 152]
Montgomery ( Exp VIII. ix. p. 357) translates διαπλεύσαντες in Act_27:5 having run across the gulf between Cilicia and Pamphylia, and notes that the verb probably implies that at this point a favourable shift of wind enabled them to make a straight course across a stretch of open water (πέλαγος ) instead of hugging the shores of the bight. The verb occurs with the same object in Kaibel 642 .13 (iii/iv A.D.) καὶ πέλαγος διέπλε [υ ]σε : see also LS.
