          [syn: Kriti]
 Crete
    now called Candia, one of the largest islands in the
    Meditterranean, about 140 miles long and 35 broad. It was at one
    time a very prosperous and populous island, having a "hundred
    cities." The character of the people is described in Paul's
    quotation from "one of their own poets" (Epimenides) in his
    epistle to Titus: "The Cretans are alway liars, evil beasts,
    slow bellies" (Titus 1:12). Jews from Crete were in Jerusalem on
    the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:11). The island was visited by Paul
    on his voyage to Rome (Acts 27). Here Paul subsequently left
    Titus (1:5) "to ordain elders." Some have supposed that it was
    the original home of the Caphtorim (q.v.) or Philistines.
