 [t appi;ars that Caiaphas was high priift all the time tli.it 

 Pilate was in Jiidea. Som.' have thought, that the phiafc, 



being his^h-pritll that fame year" (John, xi. 49.) implies, 



that St. John fuppoied the high priclUiood was annual. 



And on this account, they have been difpofed to cliargc 



him with a great miftaice ; for Pontius Pilnte was governor 



of Jiu';«a 10 years, and C^laphas was put into the pncft- 



hood by Valerius Gratus, the prcdcccffor of Pilate, and 



continued in it, tdl after Pilate's removal. But the phrafe 



" that year," as it (hould have been rendered, and not 



" th.it fame year," denotes no more than " at that time." 



St. John, therefore, merely fays, that Caiaphas was hii^h- 



priell at that time. It is added, that " being highprii.ll 



that year he prophefied." By prophcfying we may nnder- 



, {land his declaring the event; which it was in a peculiar 



'rnanner the office of the prieit to do, when he was inquired 



jof, or when God was inquired of by him, concerning any 



I important matter under deliberation. Lardner's works,

CAIC, Caique, Caica, in Sea-language, is ufed to de- 

 mte the lldif, or floop, belonging to a galley. 



The CotFacks give the fame name, eaic, to a fmall kind 

 ■01 bark ufcd in the navigation of the Black fea. It is 

 equipped with forty or fifty men, all foidiers ; their employ- 

 ment is a kind ot piracy. The Turks have alio a fort of 

 Caics, which fome rerjder by llremcs. 



The Caics, or Caiq'.ies, that navigate the fea of Marmora, 

 are generally manned by two or three rowers ; and they are 

 inceffantly employed in croffing the harbour, and proceeding 

 with celcritv to all the villages of the Bofphorus, to Scutari, 

 to Prince's idands, and to every place in the environs. Thefe 

 caiques are long narrow boats, extremely light, equipped 

 with one, two, or three pairs of oars, feldom with four. 

 They carry one or two, and even three fails, which are fet 

 only in fair weather, or wlien the wind is not too ftrong. 

 They are not provided with ballatl, and are fo buoyant that a 

 fomewlkat Itiff breeze would overfet them, if the boatman did 

 not take care to let go the (heet on the fmalleft danger, and to 

 throw t!ie boat up in the wind by fhifting the helm. Thefe 

 caiques are fo numerous, and they divide the water with fuch 

 Telocity, that in fome cafes the utmoit il<ill of the rowers 

 cannot prevent their running foul of each other, and one of 

 the two from being overfet, efpecially in bad weather. 

 Such accidents, when they occur, are little regard.d. They 

 are no lefs fwift in failing than elegant in their Toim. In 

 two hours, with a light breeze, they will fail fmm Conftan- 

 tinople to Prince's ifland, diftant from 10 to 13 miles; and 

 notwithllanding contrary wind and current, three rowers 

 never take more time for reaching Buyuk-Dere, ditlant i8 

 miles. The Caiques belonging to the Sultan are remarkable 

 for their fize, their gilding, their elegance, and the number 

 and dexterity of the rowers : they carry 14 pairs of oars, an>i 

 are manned by 28 boftangees, drtlfed in white, the boftan- 

 £ee-bachi being the cock.fwaij), or ileerfman. The caiciue 



C A J 



of the grand vifiir has 12 pairs of oars ; tliofc of the prin. 

 cipal oilicers of the Porte, and of the ambaffadors of foreign 

 powers, have feven pairs each. In thefe large caiques one 

 man is required for each oar ; while ihofe of private perfolij 

 are fufficiently nariow for a fmgle man to make ufe of two 

 oars at a time. When the fultan in fummer vifits his different 

 palaces on the Black fea, his caique is diftinguifhcd by a 

 beautiful criinfon awning, fprcad towards tiie (Tern : and he 

 i. preceded and followed by a number of others, in which 

 are his principal officers.
