2: And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone

Two ships. The skips used on so small a lake were probably no
more than fishing-boats without decks, and easily drawn up on the
beach. Josephus says there were 230 of them on the lake, attended by four
or five men each. That they were small is also clear from the account
commonly given of them. A single large draught of fishes endangered them
and came near sinking them.
Standing by the lake. Anchored by the lake, or drawn up upon the beach.
