<p> | <p> [[Melita]] (''mĕl'i-tah'' ), ''honey,'' modern ''Malta.'' [[A]] small island in the Mediterranean Sea, 60 miles south of Sicily. It is 17 miles long by 9 or 10 broad. This island is noted in Scripture as the scene of the shipwreck of Paul Acts 27:1-44. The wreck probably happened at the place known as St. Paul's Bay, an inlet with a creek two miles deep and one broad. Its chief officer (under the Roman governor of Sicily) appears from inscriptions to have had the precise title which Luke uses. Acts 28:7. </p> | ||
