Following an extended three-month layover on Malta due to winter weather, he and his party secured passage on an Alexandrian vessel bearing the iconic Twin Brothers figurehead. The journey included strategic stops at key ports, including a three-day stay at Syracuse and a short, one-day layover at Rhegium. Assisted by a favorable southern wind, the team made swift progress, docking at Puteoli in just two days. Upon landing, the group received a warm welcome from local supporters, who invited them to stay for a full week. This connection provided a vital bridge for the final leg of their mission. As the party neared their final destination, word of their approach spread quickly. Supporters traveled significant distances, meeting the group at the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns. Observers on the ground noted that the emotional reunion provided a massive boost to Paul, who was seen giving thanks to [God](/persons/god) after the long and hazardous trek. After three months we set sail in an Alexandrian ship that had wintered in the island. It had the Twin Brothers as a figurehead. Putting in at Syracuse, we stayed there three days. From there we weighed anchor and came to Rhegium. After one day, a south wind came up, and on the second day we arrived at Puteoli. There we found some brothers who invited us to spend the week with them. And so we came to Rome. The brothers there had heard about us and traveled as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns to meet us. When [Paul](/persons/paul) saw them, he was encouraged and gave thanks to [God](/persons/god).
