τ. πλοιαρίῳ. In the boat, or by means of the boat. As in John 6:17-24, πλοῖον and πλοιάριον are both used; we are not sure whether with or without a difference of meaning. This mixture of the two words is not found in the Synoptists: excepting Mark 3:9, πλοιάριον is peculiar to S. John [13]. Ἀπό, in measuring distance, occurs only in S. John’s writings (John 11:18; Revelation 14:20) [14]: 200 cubits would be about 100 yards.
