Word Origin: Derived from Ἀδραμύττιον (Adramyttion), a city located in the region of Mysia in Asia Minor, near the coast of the Aegean Sea.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for Ἀδραμυττηνός, as it is a specific term related to a Greek city and its maritime activities. However, the concept of cities and regions being identified by their inhabitants or products is common in both Greek and Hebrew texts.

Usage: The term is used in the New Testament to describe a ship that was from Adramyttium. It appears in the context of Paul's journey to Rome.

Context: The term Ἀδραμυττηνός is found in the New Testament in Acts 27:2, where it describes a ship that the Apostle Paul boarded during his voyage to Rome. The passage states: "We boarded an Adramyttian ship about to sail for ports along the coast of Asia, and we put out to sea. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, was with us." (BSB)

Adramyttium was a significant port city in the Roman province of Asia, known for its maritime activities. The ship mentioned in Acts 27:2 was likely engaged in coastal trade, traveling from port to port along the coast of Asia Minor. This detail highlights the common practice of using local ships for regional travel in the ancient world.

The mention of an Adramyttian ship in the narrative of Paul's journey underscores the historical and geographical context of the early Christian mission. It reflects the interconnectedness of the Roman Empire's trade routes and the spread of Christianity through these established networks.
