A.T. Robertson Commentary Mark 6:53

"And when they had crossed over, they came to the land unto Gennesaret, and moored to the shore." — Mark 6:53 (ASV)

And moored to the shore (κα προσωρμισθησαν). Only here in the New Testament, though an old Greek verb and occurring in the papyri. Hορμος is roadstead or anchorage. They cast anchor or lashed the boat to a post on shore. It was at the plain of Gennesaret several miles south of Bethsaida owing to the night wind.
