  Quicksands 
  found  only  in  Acts  27:17,  the  rendering  of  the  Greek  Syrtis.  On 
  the  north  coast  of  Africa  were  two  localities  dangerous  to 
  sailors,  called  the  Greater  and  Lesser  Syrtis.  The  former  of 
  these  is  probably  here  meant  It  lies  between  Tripoli  and  Barca, 
  and  near  Cyrene.  The  Lesser  Syrtis  lay  farther  to  the  west.
