Context — Paul's Journey to Tyregenerated
Acts 21:3 describes a segment of Paul's travels where he and his companions sight Cyprus and navigate towards Syria, arriving at the port city of Tyre. This journey highlights the geographical context of early Christian missions and the logistical aspects of travel by sea. The mention of Tyre as a landing point underscores its significance as a hub of commerce and interaction in the ancient world.

The Key Word — ἀναφάναντες, anaphainōgenerated
The word ἀναφαίνω (anaphaino) is a second aorist passive participle meaning 'having sighted.' It conveys the idea of something becoming visible or being revealed, as when Cyprus came into view during the voyage.
In this context, it emphasizes the moment of discovery as the ship approached the island. The passive voice indicates that the sighting was an experience for the sailors, rather than an action they performed.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as 'After sighting Cyprus and passing south of it, we sailed on to Syria and landed at Tyre, where the ship was to unload its cargo.' Other translations, such as the KJV and ASV, use similar wording but may vary slightly in phrasing.
Where the translations differ is in the rendering of specific Greek terms. For example, καταλιπόντες is translated as 'having left' in YLT and 'on the left hand' in several others, while γόμον appears as 'cargo' in the BSB and 'the lading' in YLT.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is ἐπλέομεν, we were sailing, which governs the actions of the subjects. The structure includes several phrases that provide additional information about the journey, including participial phrases indicating actions taken before the main action.
The sentence is composed of multiple clauses that detail the sequence of events: sighting Cyprus, passing it, sailing to Syria, and landing at Tyre. Each clause builds on the previous one to create a cohesive narrative of the journey.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
καταλείπω (kataleipo), meaning 'to leave behind,' appears in the Septuagint and is used to translate various Hebrew terms. It conveys the idea of forsaking or abandoning something, which is relevant in the context of leaving Cyprus behind during the journey.
The term πλοῖον (ploion) also has roots in the Septuagint, where it refers to a vessel or ship. This connection highlights the continuity of maritime terminology from the Old Testament to the New Testament.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Acts 21:3 describes how Paul and his companions sailed past Cyprus and headed to Syria, landing at Tyre where their ship was set to unload its cargo. This part of their journey illustrates the routes taken by early Christians and the significance of coastal cities in their travels.

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
Cum apparuissemus autem Cypro, relinquentes eam ad sinistram, navigavimus in Syriam, et venimus Tyrum : ibi enim navis expositura erat onus.
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

The Greek word ἀναφαίνω (anaphaino) means to bring to light or to appear. It is built from the prefixes that suggest revealing or making visible. The New Testament uses it in contexts like appearing or being made manifest, notably in Luke 19:11 and Acts 21:3. The entries show a range of meanings, from proclaiming to simply appearing, but they do not present significant disagreement.
ἀναφαίνω. The verb occurs in the interesting Christian letter, P Oxy VI. 939% (iv/A.D.) θεοῦ γνῶσις ἀνεφάνη ἅπασιν ἡμῖν : cf. Lk τοῦ παραχρῆμα μέλλει ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ ἀναφαίνεσθαι. From iii/A.D. comes the defixio in Wiinsch 4.2, no. 4°", Tov μονογενῆ, Tov ἐξ αὑτοῦ ἀναφανέντα, of a god who receives the names Qy ᾿Ιάω eenad.

δέ (de) is a post-positive particle in Greek, primarily used as a conjunction to connect clauses. It can express contrast (but, on the other hand) or continuation (and, also), and is often used to transition between ideas or to add emphasis. In the New Testament, it appears frequently in various contexts, such as contrasting statements or resuming interrupted discourse, with notable examples in Matthew and 2 Corinthians.

δέ but: conjunctive Particle, with adversative force: it commonly answers to μέν, and may often be rendered by while, whereas, on the other hand, v. μέν:— but μέν is often omitted, δέ being used merely to pass on from one thing to another; ὣς Ἀχιλεὺς θάμβησεν, θάμβησαν δὲ καὶ ἄλλοι Il.; etc.; κινεῖ κραδίην κινεῖ δὲ χόλον Eur.
δέ is often redundant,
to introduce the apodosis, where it may be rendered by then, yet, εἰ δέ κε μὴ δώωσιν, ἐγὼ δέ κεν αὐτὸς ἕλωμαι if they will not give it, then I will take it, Il.; so at in Lat., si tu oblitus es, at Dii meminerint Catull.
to resume after interruption caused by a parenthesis, where it may be rendered by I say, now, so then, Hdt.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

The Greek word Κύπρος (i.e., *Kypros*) refers to Cyprus, a Mediterranean island known for its fertility. It appears multiple times in the New Testament (Acts 11:19, 13:4, 15:39, 21:3, 27:4) and has historical significance for its copper resources. The origin of the word is uncertain, but it is consistently defined across lexicons.

si'-prus (Kupros):
1. Name:
An island situated near the Northeast corner of the Levant, in an angle formed by the coasts of Cilicia and Syria. In the Old Testament it is called Kittim, after the name of its Phoenician capital Kition. The identification is expressly made by Josephus (Ant., I, vi, 1) and by the Cyprian bishop Epiphanius (Haer., xxx.25). In the tablets from Tell el- Amarna it is referred to as Alashia (E. Meyer, Gesch. des Alterthums, 12, section 499), in Egyptian records as Asi, while in the Assyrian cuneiform inscriptions it is named Yavnan.
2. Geography:
The island is the largest in the Mediterranean with the exception of Sardinia and Sicily, its area being about 3,584 square miles. It lies in 34 degrees 30'-35 degrees 41' North latitude and 32 degrees 15'-34 degrees 36' East longitude, only 46 miles distant from the nearest point of the Cilician coast and 60 miles from the…
Cyprus
One of the largest islands of the Mediterranean, about 148 miles long and 40 broad. It is distant about 60 miles from the Syrian coast. It was the “Chittim” of the Old Testament (Num. 24:24). The Greek colonists gave it the name of Kypros, from the cyprus, i.e., the henna (see CAMPHIRE), which grew on this island. It was originally inhabited by Phoenicians. In B.C. 477 it fell under the dominion of the Greeks; and became a Roman province B.C. 58. In ancient times it was a centre of great commercial activity. Corn and wine and oil were produced here in the greatest perfection. It was rich also in timber and in mineral wealth.
It is first mentioned in the New Testament (Acts 4:36) as the native place of Barnabas. It was the scene of Paul’s first missionary labours…
an island of Asia in the Mediterranean. It is about 140 miles long and 50 miles wide at the widest part. Its two chief cities were Salamis, at the east end of the island, and Paphos, at the west end. "Cyprus occupies a distinguished place in both sacred and profane history. It early belonged to the Phoenicians of the neighboring coast; was afterwards colonized by Greeks’ passed successively under the power of the Pharaohs, Persians, Ptolemies and Romans, excepting a short period of independence in the fourth century B.C. It was one of the chief seats of the worship of Venus, hence called Cypria. Recently the discoveries in Cyprus by Cesnola have excited new interest. --Appleton’s Am. Encyc.

A large island in the Mediterranean, situated in the northeast part of that sea between Cilicia and Syria. It is about one hundred and forty miles long, and varies from five to fifty miles in breadth. Its inhabitants were plunged in all manner of luxury and debauchery. Their principal deity was Venus, who had a celebrated temple at Paphos. The island was extremely fertile, and abounded in wine, oil, honey, wool, copper, agate, and a beautiful species of rock crystal. There were also large forests of cypress-trees. Of the cities in the island, Paphos on the western coast, and Salmis at the opposite end, are mentioned in the New Testament. The gospel was preached there at an early day, Ac 11:19. Barnabas and Mnason, and other eminent Christians, were natives of this island, Ac…

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.
καί, a conj., and; the most freq. by far of all the particles in the N. T. [On its uses see W. § 53, 3sqq.; B. 361 (310) sqq., and ef.

The Greek word καταλείπω (i.e., *kataleipo*) means to leave behind or abandon. It can refer to leaving something remaining, forsaking, or reserving. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts such as leaving a place (Matthew 4:13) or forsaking a family (Matthew 19:5). The lexicons also note its use in a metaphorical sense, such as abandoning true religion (2 Peter 2:15).

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

The Greek word εὐώνυμος (i.e., *euōnumos*) combines the elements for 'good' and 'name.' It primarily means 'left' but is euphemistically used to denote the left side, which was associated with bad omens in ancient Greek culture. This term appears in several New Testament passages, including Matthew 20:21 and Acts 21:3.
εὐώνυμος, -ον, (εὖ and ὄνομα) ; 1. of good name (Hes., Pind.), and of good omen (Plat. polit. p. 302 d.; lege. 6 p. 754e.); in the latter sense used in taking auguries; but those omens were euphemistically called εὐώνυμα which in fact were regarded as unlucky, i. e, which came from the left, sinister omens (for which a good name was desired); hence 2. left (so fr. Aeschyl. and Hdt. down): Acts xxi. 3; Rev. x. 2; ἐξ εὐωνύμων [cf. W. § 27,3; § 19s. v. δεξιά; B. 89 (78)], on the left hand (to the left): Mt. xx. 21, 23; xxv. 33, 41: xxvii. 38; Mk. x. 37 [RGL], 40; xv. 27.
εὐώνυμος. It is curious that, while δεξιός is common, εὐώνυμος does not occur at all in the indices to P Oxy I.—XII. and BGU I.—IV. For an interesting usage see the astrological P Ryl II. 63 cited s.v. δεξιός, and cf. Sy// 801, a v/B.C. inscr. from Ephesus dealing with augury, where it is laid down that if a bird flying from right to left concealed its wing, it was a good omen (δεξιός), but if it raised its left wing (ἢν δὲ ἐπάρει τὴ[ν εἸὐώνυμον πτέρυγα), then, whether it raised or concealed the wing, it was of ill omen (εὐώνυμος).

The Greek word πλέω (i.e., *pleo*) means 'to sail' or 'to navigate by sea.' It is used in various contexts, primarily referring to ships but also metaphorically. The New Testament references include Luke 8:23 and Acts 27:24. The word is derived from the idea of moving through water and has forms in different dialects, indicating its broad usage in ancient texts.

εἰς is a preposition meaning 'into' or 'to,' used with the accusative case. It indicates direction, entrance, or limit, applicable to place, time, and figurative purposes.

Συρία refers to Syria, a region in Asia bordered by various geographical features. It appears multiple times in the New Testament, specifically in Matthew, Luke, and Acts. The entries indicate that it is a significant area, historically linked to Palestine and other regions. There is no notable disagreement among the lexicons regarding its meaning.

Syria
(Heb. Aram), the name in the Old Testament given to the whole country which lay to the north-east of Phoenicia, extending to beyond the Euphrates and the Tigris. Mesopotamia is called (Gen. 24:10; Deut. 23:4) Aram-naharain (=Syria of the two rivers), also Padan-aram (Gen. 25:20). Other portions of Syria were also known by separate names, as Aram-maahah (1 Chr. 19:6), Aram-beth-rehob (2 Sam. 10:6), Aram-zobah (2 Sam. 10:6, 8). All these separate little kingdoms afterwards became subject to Damascus. In the time of the Romans, Syria included also a part of…
is the term used throughout our version for the Hebrew Aram , as well as for the Greek Zupia . Most probably Syria is for Tsyria , the country about Tsur or Tyre which was the first of the Syrian towns known to the Greeks. It is difficult to fix the limits of Syria. The limits of the Hebrew Aram and its subdivisions are spoken of under ARAM. Syria proper was bounded by Amanus and Taurus on the north by the Euphrates and the Arabian desert on the east, by Palestine on the south, by the Mediterranean near the mouth of the Orontes, and then by Phoenicia on the west. This tract is about 300 miles long from north to south, and from 50 to 150 miles broad. It contains an area of about 30,000 square miles. General physical features . --The general character of the tract is mountainous, as the Hebrew name Aram (from a roof signifying "height") sufficiently implies. The most fertile and valuable…
In Hebrew ARAM, a large district of Asia, lying, in the widest acceptation of the name, between the Mediterranean, Mount Taurus, and the Tigris, and thus including Mesopotamia, that is, in Hebrew, Syria of the two rivers. See ARAM 2. Excepting the Lebanon range, it is for the most part a level country. In the New Testament, Syria may be considered as bounded west and north-west by the Mediterranean and by Mount Taurus, which separates it from Cilicia and Cataonia in Asia Minor, east by the Euphrates, and south by Arabia Deserta and Palestine, or rather Judea, for the name Syria included also the northern part of Palestine.
The valley between the ridges of Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon was called Coele-Syria and Phoenicia were subject to the king of Babylon, and they afterwards were tributary to the Persian monarchs. After the country fell into the hands of the Romans, Syria was made the…

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

The Greek word κατέρχομαι (katerchomai) is built from the prefix κατ- and the verb ἔρχομαι, meaning 'to come down' or 'to descend.' It covers a range of meanings, including literal descent, such as coming down from a place or landing by ship, and metaphorical uses, like receiving gifts from God. The New Testament uses it in contexts like Jesus coming down from a mountain (Luke 4:31) and various journeys (Acts 8:5, 18:22).

The New Testament frequently employs it to express movement toward locations or states, as seen in passages like Matthew 8:23. It can also denote relationships or results, such as 'for' or 'among.'

Τύρος (i.e. Turos) refers to Tyre, a prominent maritime city in Phoenicia known for its wealth and commerce. It appears in several New Testament passages, including Mark 7:24 and Acts 21:3. The lexicons note its historical significance and mention its decline to a small town by the 13th century.
Τύρος, -ov, ἡ, (Hebr. ix or ὋΝ ; fr. Aram. 930 a rock), Tyre, a Phenician city on the Mediterranean, very ancient, large, splendid, flourishing in commerce, and powerful by land and sea. In the time of Christ and the apostles it was subject to the Romans, but continued to possess considerable wealth and prosperity down to A.D. 1291. It is at present an obscure little place containing some five thousand inhabitants, part Mohammedans part Christians, with a few Jews (cf. Bideker’s Palestine p. 425sq.; [Murray’s ditto p. 370 sq.]). It is mentioned Acts xxi. 3, 7, and (in company with Sidon) in Mt. xi. 21sq.; xv. 21; Lk. vi. 17; x.13sq.; Mk. iii. 8; vii. 24 (where T om. Trmrg. WH br. καὶ Σιδῶνος), 31. [BB. DD.]* =

1. Physical Features:
The most noted of the Phoenician cities situated on the coast, lat. 33ø 17 minutes, about 20 miles South of Sidon and about 35 North of Carmel. The date of its foundation is uncertain, but it was later than that of Sidon. It is mentioned in the travels of the Egyptian Mohar, dating probably from the 14th century BC, and in the Tell el-Amarna Letters of about the same period. Herodotus describes the temple of Hercules at Tyre and says it was built 2,300 years before his time, which would carry back the beginning of the city to more than 2700 BC. It was a double city, one part on an island, a short distance from the shore, and the other on the mainland opposite. The island city had two harbors, connected by a canal, one looking North and the other South. The island was rocky and the city was fortitled on the land…
Tyre
A rock, now es-Sur; an ancient Phoenician city, about 23 miles, in a direct line, north of Acre, and 20 south of Sidon. Sidon was the oldest Phoenician city, but Tyre had a longer and more illustrious history. The commerce of the whole world was gathered into the warehouses of Tyre. “Tyrian merchants were the first who ventured to navigate the Mediterranean waters; and they founded their colonies on the coasts and neighbouring islands of the AEgean Sea, in Greece, on the northern coast of Africa, at Carthage and other places, in Sicily and Corsica, in Spain at Tartessus, and even beyond the pillars of Hercules at Gadeira (Cadiz)” (Driver’s Isaiah). In the time of David a friendly alliance was entered into between the Hebrews and the Tyrians, who were long ruled over by their native kings (2 Sam. 5:11;
(a rock), a celebrated commercial city of Phoenicia, on the coast of the Mediterranean. Its Hebrew name, Tzor , signifies a rock; which well agrees with the site of Sur , the modern town, on a rocky peninsula, formerly an island. There is no doubt that, previous to the siege of the city by Alexander the Great, Tyre was situated on an island; but, according to the tradition of the inhabitants, there was a city on the mainland before there was a city on the island; and the tradition receives some color from the name of Palaetyrus, or Old Tyre, which was borne in Greek times by a city on the continent, thirty stadia to the south.

The Greek word ἐκεῖσε (ekeise) is an adverb meaning 'thither' or 'to that place.' It is used in the New Testament, notably in Acts 21:3 and 22:5, often in a pregnant construction to indicate a group located at a specific place. The term can also refer to the other world in classical literature, contrasting with ἐκεῖθεν (from there).
ἐκεῖσε, adv. of place, thither, towards that place: Acts xxi. 3, on which see W. 349 (328); used for ἐκεῖ in the pregn. constr. τοὺς ἐκεῖσε ὄντας, collected there, Acts xxii. 5, (Acta Thomae § 8); cf. W. § 54, 7.

The Greek word γάρ (gar) is a coordinating particle primarily used to introduce reasons or explanations, similar to 'for' in English. It can serve various functions, including causal, explicative, and conclusive, and is often placed after the first word in a clause. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts that clarify or justify preceding statements, aligning with its classical usage.
γάρ, a conjunction, which ace. to its composition, γέ and dpa (i. 4. ἄρ), is properly a particle of affirmation and conclusion, denoting truly therefore, verily as the case stands, “ the thing is first aflirmed by the particle yé, and then is referred to what precedes by the force of the particle dpa” (Klotz ad Devar. ii. 1, p. 232; οἵ. Kiihner ii. p. 724; [Jelf § 786; W. 445 (415) sq-]). Now since by a new affirmation not infrequently the reason and nature of something previously mentioned are set forth, it comes to pass that, by the use of this particle, either the reason and cause of a foregoing statement is added, whence arises the causal or argumentative force of the particle, for (Lat. nam, enim; Germ. denn) ; or some previous declaration is explained, whence γάρ takes on an ex plicative force: YP Sor, the fact is, namely (Lat. videlicet, Germ. ndmilich). Thus the force of the…

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

The Greek word πλοῖον (ploion) refers to a vessel or ship, derived from the verb meaning 'to sail.' It encompasses various types of boats, including merchant ships and small craft, and is frequently used in the New Testament, notably in Matthew 4:21-22 and Acts 21:2-3. The term has historical usage in classical literature as well.

No one writer in the whole range of Greek and Roman literature has supplied us with so much information concerning the merchant-ships of the ancients as St. Luke in the narrative of St. Paul’s voyage to Rome. Acts 27,28. It is important to remember that he accomplished it in three ships: first, the Adramyttian vessel which took him from Caesarea to Myra, and which was probably a coasting-vessel of no great size, (Acts 27:1-6) secondly, the large Alexandrian corn-ship, in which he was wrecked on the coast of Malta (Acts 27:6-28) :1; and thirdly, another large Alexandrian corn-ship, in which he sailed from Malta by Syracuse and Rhegium to Puteoli. (Acts 28:11-13) Size of ancient ships . --The narrative which we take as our chief…
The ships of the ancients were very imperfect in comparison with modern ones. Navigators crept carefully along the shores, from one headland or prominent point to another, making a harbor if practicable every night; and when out of sight of land, being ignorant of the compass and quadrant, they guided their course by the sun and certain stars. Even in St. Paul’s time, vessels passing from Palestine to Italy, sometimes wintered on the way!
Ac 27:12 28:11. The ancient ships were in general small, though a few large ships are on record. They were often highly ornamented both at the prow and the stern; and the figurehead or "sign," by which the vessel was known, was sometimes an image of its tutelar divinity. They were usually propelled by oars often in several "banks" or rows one above another, as well as by sails. In war, the galley…

εἰμί is a Greek verb meaning 'to be' or 'to exist.' It serves various functions, such as a substantive verb for persons and things, and as a copula linking subjects and predicates. The New Testament frequently uses it in passages like John 1:1 and Matthew 24:3. Notably, it can also express possibility, as seen in Hebrews 9:5.

The Greek word ἀποφορτίζομαι (*apophortizomai*) is built from the prefix ἀπο- and the verb φορτίζω (to load). It means to unload or discharge a cargo, as seen in Acts 21:3. The term can also refer to disburdening oneself or getting rid of something.

Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

What has been said concerning adjectives holds true also of all other limitations added to substantives, as ἡ κατ᾽ ἐκλογὴν πρόθεσις, Ro. ix. 11; ἡ παρ᾽ ἐμοῦ διαθήκη, Ro. xi. 27; 6 λόγος 6 τοῦ σταυροῦ, 1 Co. i. 18; ἡ εἰς Χριστὸν πίστις, Col. ii. 5; on the other hand, ἡ πίστις ὑμῶν ἡ πρὸς τὸν θεόν, 1 Th. i. 8; τῆς διακονίας τῆς εἰς τοὺς ἁγίους, 2 Co. viii. 4; see many other exx. of each usage in W. 131 (124) sqq.; [B. 91 (80) sqq.]. e. The noun has the article before it when a demonstrative pronoun (υὗτος, ἐκεῖνος) belonging to it either precedes or follows [W. § 18, 4; B. § 127, 29-31]; as, ὁ ἄνθρωπος οὗτος, Jn. ix. 24 [οὗτος ὁ ἄνθρ. 1, Tr mrg. WH); Acts vi. 13; xxii. 26; ὁ λαὸς οὗτος, Mt. xv. 8; 6 vids σου οὗτος, Lk. xv. 30; plur. Lk. xxiv. 17, and numberless other exx.; οὗτος 6 ἄνθρωπος, Lk. xiv. 30; οὗτος ὁ…

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

The Greek word γόμος (gomos) refers to a ship's cargo or freight, and can also denote a burden or load. It appears in the New Testament in contexts related to shipping and trade, specifically in Acts 21:3 and Revelation 18:11, 12. The term is derived from the verb γέμω meaning 'to fill'.
γόμος, -ου, ὁ
(< γέμω),
[in LXX: Ex 23:5, IV Ki 5:17 (מַשָּׂא) * ;]
a ship's freight, cargo: Ac 21:3, Re 18:11, 12.†
γόμος, -ov, ὁ, (γέμω); a. the lading or freight of a ship, cargo, merchandise conveyed ina ship: Acts xxi. 3, (Hat. 1, 194; [Aeschyl.], Dem., al.; [in Sept. the load of a beast of burden, Ex. xxiii.5; 2.K.v.17]). Ὁ. any merchandise: Rev. xviii. 11 sq.
γόμος is common of the cargo or freight of a ship as in Ac 21%, ἐνβαλέσθαι αὐτοῦ τὸν γόμον, ‘ please to see that his freight is embarked with all despatch” (Edd), 7d. IV. 708% 16 (a.p. 188) τοῦ] καταχθέντος yopou, ‘‘the cargo despatched.” ΤΙ may also be a term of quantity, a ‘‘load,” as in Ostr 1258 (A.D. 88) ἀπέχω παρὰ σοῦ γόμος (sc.-ov) ἀχύρου a, 77. 1010” (Roman) τήν αὐθεντικὴν ἀποχὴν ἀχύρ[ου] γόμου ἑνός. 70. 10153 (ii/iii A.D.) shows the plural: cf. P Fay 102 (¢. A.D. 105), a series of farm accounts, in which we read of yépou and 8payp(ara) of wheat and barley. Another kind of merchandise figures in P Flor IIT. 36918 (A.D. 139 or 149) κ(αὶ) δώσο kat’ ἔτος ξύλων καθάρσεων γόμον ἕνα. An inscr from Lower Egypt, beyond Philae, dated A.D. 214-5, OG/S 209%, gives the title ἱερεὺς γόμου to a certain Apollonius Soter. Dittenberger’s note cites about forty inscrr. for this title, and others…
