Had discovered Cyprus. (See Barnes on Acts 4:36).
Into Syria. (See Barnes on Matthew 4:24).
And landed at Tyre. (See Barnes on Matthew 11:21).
To unlade her burden. Her cargo. Tyre was formerly one of the most commercial cities of the world; and it is probable, that in the time of Paul its commercial importance had not entirely ceased.
