Syracuse in the Bible

Meaning: that draws violently

Thematic Bible



It was after three months' stay there that we set sail in a ship which had wintered in the island, an Alexandrian ship with the Twin Brothers [Castor and Pollux] as its figurehead. We landed at Syracuse and remained there three days, And from there we made a circuit [following the coast] and reached Rhegium; and one day later a south wind sprang up, and the next day we arrived at Puteoli.


We landed at Syracuse [on Sicily] and stayed there three days.
