Literally , {they sailed down } from the sea to the land , the opposite of {launched forth } (\an ˆchth ˆsan \) of verse 22 |. Songs:we today use like nautical terms , to bear up , to bear down . {The Gerasenes } (\ton Geras ˆn “n \). This is the correct text here as in strkjv @Mark:5:1 | while Gadarenes is correct in strkjv @Matthew:8:28 |.

Only here in the N .T . The later Greek form is \antiperan \ (Polybius , etc .). Some MSS . here have \peran \ like strkjv @Mark:5:1 ; strkjv @Matthew:8:28 |.
