7In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously.

9So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed:
10Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary.
11And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.
