(of Εὔξεις, εὔξεις wind, and κύλων, wave,) is a species of wind, of which we have an account only in Acts xxvii. 14, and concerning the nature of which critics have been much divided. Bochart, Grotius, Bentley, and others, substitute another reading, supported by the Alexandrian MS. and the Vulgate, viz. Εὐγενεῖαν, or Euro-aquilo; but Mr Bryant defends the common reading, and considers the Euroclydon, i.e. Εὔξεις κύλων, as an east wind that causes a deep sea or vast inundation. He maintains, in opposition to Dr Bentley's reasoning, who supposes that the mariners in the ship, the voyage of which is recited in this passage, were Romans, that they were Greeks of Alexandria, and that the ship was an Alexandrian ship employed in the traffic of carrying corn to Italy; and therefore, that the mariners had a name in their own language for the particular typhonic or stormy wind here mentioned. He always shows from the passage itself, that the tempestuous wind called Euroclydon, beat (κυλῶσ) upon the island of Crete; and therefore, as this is a relative expression, referring to the situation of the person who speaks of it, who was at that time to the windward or south of it, the wind blew upon shore, and must have come from the south or south-east; which, he adds, is fully warranted by the point where the ship was, and the direction it ran in afterwards, which was towards the north and north-west.
