Cauda [1]
kô´da ( Καῦδα , Kaúda ; also called Κλαῦδα , Klaúda ; the King James Version Clauda; the modern Greek name Gaudho supports the form Cauda): An island 23 miles West of Cape Matala. It is a small island, and can never have supported a large population, or have been of any importance. Its elevation to the rank of a bishopric in Byzantine times must have been due to its association with the voyage of Paul. The ship with Paul on board was driven under the lee of Cauda ( Acts 27:16 ); in the calm water south of the island the crew succeeded in hauling in the boat, undergirding the ship and slackening sail.
