Word Origin: Derived from the Latin "Adriaticus," referring to the Adriatic Sea.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for "Adrias" as it is a specific geographical term related to the Greco-Roman world.

Usage: The term "Adrias" refers specifically to the Adriatic Sea, a body of water that lies between the Italian Peninsula and the Balkan Peninsula. In the context of the New Testament, it is used to describe the sea area where the Apostle Paul experienced a shipwreck during his journey to Rome.

Cultural and Historical Background: The Adriatic Sea was a significant body of water in the ancient world, serving as a major route for trade and travel between the eastern and western parts of the Roman Empire. It was known for its unpredictable weather and treacherous sailing conditions, which are reflected in the biblical account of Paul's shipwreck. The sea was named after the ancient city of Adria, which was an important port in the region.
