Greek-English Concordance for λιμήν

Acts 27:8 Sailing past it with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens (limenas | λιμένας | acc pl masc), near to which was the city Lasea.
Acts 27:12 And since the harbor (limenos | λιμένος | gen sg masc) was unsuitable to winter in, the majority made a decision to put out to sea from there, if somehow they might be able to reach Phoenix, a harbor (limena | λιμένα | acc sg masc) of Crete, facing both southwest and northwest, and spend the winter there.
