Flotes. That is, rafts.

Joppa. A city on the Mediterranean coast, about 35 mi. northwest of Jerusalem. It was the natural port of Jerusalem. Jonah took ship from here for Tarshish (Jonah 1:3). When the Temple was rebuilt after the return from Babylonian captivity, rafts of cedar logs were again floated to Joppa from Tyre (Ezra 3:7). Joppa is now called Jaffa.
