Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "katapleó," the concept of arriving by sea can be related to Hebrew terms for travel and arrival, such as בּוֹא (bo, Strong's H935), meaning "to come" or "to go."

Usage: The verb "katapleó" is used in the context of maritime travel, specifically referring to the act of sailing down to a destination or arriving at a port by sea. It conveys the completion of a sea journey, emphasizing the arrival at a specific location.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Mediterranean world, sea travel was a common mode of transportation for trade, military, and personal travel. The Greek and Roman worlds were heavily reliant on maritime routes for commerce and communication. The term "katapleó" would have been familiar to those living in coastal regions and involved in seafaring activities. The act of arriving by sea was significant, as it often marked the beginning of new ventures, trade opportunities, or the spread of ideas and cultures.
