Strong's Lexicon ploiarion: Little boat, small boat Original Word: πλοιάριον Word Origin: Diminutive form of πλοῖον (ploion), meaning "ship" or "boat." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "ploiarion," the concept of small boats can be related to Hebrew terms for vessels used in similar contexts, such as "סִפִּינָה" (sippinah) for ship or boat. Usage: The term "ploiarion" refers to a small boat or vessel, often used for short trips or as a tender to a larger ship. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the smaller boats that were part of the daily life of fishermen and travelers on the Sea of Galilee. Cultural and Historical Background: In the first-century Mediterranean world, boats were essential for transportation, fishing, and trade. The Sea of Galilee, a freshwater lake in Israel, was a hub of fishing activity, and small boats like the "ploiarion" were commonly used by fishermen. These boats were typically made of wood and were designed to be easily maneuverable, suitable for the relatively calm waters of the lake.
