Luke 8:26

κατέπλευσαν εἰς τὴν χώραν, “they sailed down from the deep sea to the land, put in,” Grimm; appulerunt ad regionem, Raphel, who gives numerous examples of the use of this verb (here only in N. T.) in Greek authors. τ. Γερασηνῶν, the Gerasenes, inhabitants of the town of Gerasa (Kersa, Thomson, Land and Book), near the eastern shore of the lake, a little south of the mouth of Wadi Semach (Rob Roy on the Jordan, chap. xxiii.). ἥτις ἐστὶν, etc.: this clause answers to Mk.'s εἰς τὸ πέραν τ. θ. By the relative clause Lk. avoids the double εἰς (J. Weiss in Meyer). ἀντίπερα τ. Γαλ., opposite Galilee, a vague indication; an editorial note for the benefit of readers little acquainted with the country.
