ΣΑΜΑΡΙΑʼ, σαμαριαʼ
SAMARIAʼ, samariaʼ
Sounds Like: sah-mah-REE-ah
Translations: Samaria
From the root: ΣΑΜΑΡΙΑ
Part of Speech: Proper Noun
Explanation: This is a proper noun referring to Samaria, a historical and biblical region in the central part of the ancient Land of Israel. It was the capital city of the northern kingdom of Israel and later a Roman province. The keraia (ʼ) at the end indicates that this word is being used as a numeral, representing the number 201. However, in ancient Greek texts, it is much more common for the keraia to be used to mark numbers, and less common for it to be part of a proper noun like this, so it is likely a scribal error or a very specific numerical context.
