Σαμαρείτης
Samareítēs
Samaritan
A person belonging to or originating from Samaria; primarily denotes an inhabitant of the region of Samaria. In most Koine Greek contexts, especially in the New Testament, the term often connotes both geographic origin (from Samaria) and, by the first century CE, association with the specific ethnoreligious community distinct from Judeans and Israelites from other regions. Depending on the context, the term may refer broadly to a resident of Samaria or, more specifically, to a member of the group identified as Samaritans, who maintained distinctive religious practices centered on Mount Gerizim.
