Usage: The term "klinidion" refers to a small bed or cot, often used for reclining or resting. In the context of the New Testament, it is typically associated with a portable or simple bed, which could be easily carried or moved. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, beds and couches were common household items, used for sleeping, dining, and reclining.
