II. CORUS, a sort of wind, which in Summer rises in the West, and is called at present the North East. S. Luke in the Acts says, that the Vessel which carried S. Paul to Rome, went from the Fair Havens to Phœnice, which is a port in the Island of Crete, and lies between the Winds called Africus and Corus; that is to say, the South-West and North-East.
