Rudder [1]
( πηδάλιον, Acts 27:20, strictly a footlet; "helm," James 3:4), an oar (hence the English paddle) used by the ancients for steering vessels, being passed through an eye or rowlock at the stern; when at anchor they were unshipped, and secured from slipping through the rudder port by lashings ( ζευκτήρια, "bands"). There were usually two of these rudders (hence the plural), one on each quarter of the vessel. (See Ship).
