Historical & Contextual Notes

Ἀδραμυττηνός appears in Hellenistic and Roman-period Greek as an adjective indicating origin from Adramyttium, a port city in Mysia, northwest Asia Minor (modern Edremit, Turkey). In the New Testament (Acts 27:2), it is used to identify a ship originating from Adramyttium, signifying the vessel's home port. Such adjectival forms were standard in Greek for denoting regional identity or provenance. The English translation 'of Adramyttium' or 'Adramyttene' is a formal rendering but does not reflect any broader meaning beyond indicating origin. The term does not have distinct senses in non-biblical Koine literature beyond its adjectival geographic function.

Original Strong's Gloss (1890)

from (a place in Asia Minor); Adramyttene or belonging to Adramyttium:--of Adramyttium.
