(Clauda or Gaudos) (Pliny); Gaudonesi is its present Greek name. Due W. of cape Matala, S. of Crete, and due S. of Phoenice. Paul's ship on her way from Fair Havens to Phoenice (Acts 27:12-17) was attacked by a gale coming down from the island, and was in danger of being driven into the African "quicksands" (Syrtis). She ran under the lee of Clauda. The Euroclydon (rather as the Sinaiticus, Vaticanus, and Alexandrinus manuscripts read, Euraquilon) or E.N.E. wind would be exactly the one to drive the vessel as described. In the smooth water under the lee of Clauda they got the boat on board, and undergirt the ship (Smith, Voyage, etc., of Paul). Now Gozzo.
