Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for Antiocheia, as it is a Greek name referring to cities established during the Hellenistic period.

Usage: Antiocheia refers to two significant cities in the New Testament: Antioch in Syria and Antioch in Pisidia. Both cities played crucial roles in the early Christian church, serving as centers for missionary activity and theological development.

Cultural and Historical Background: - Antioch in Syria: Founded by Seleucus I Nicator around 300 BC, it became the third-largest city in the Roman Empire. It was a major center of Hellenistic culture and commerce. Antioch in Syria is notable for being the place where the followers of Jesus were first called "Christians" (Acts 11:26). It served as a base for Paul's missionary journeys and was a hub for early Christian thought and activity.

- Antioch in Pisidia: Located in modern-day Turkey, this city was a Roman colony and a strategic military and commercial center. Paul visited this Antioch during his first missionary journey, and it was here that he delivered a significant sermon in the synagogue (Acts 13:14-52).

STRONGS NT 490: Ἀντιόχεια

Ἀντιόχεια, Ἀντιοχείας, , Antioch, the name (derived from various monarchs) of several Asiatic cities, two of which are mentioned in the N. T.;

1. The most celebrated of all, and the capital of Syria, was situated on the river Orontes, founded by Seleucus I (sometimes (cf. Suidas under the word Σέλευκος, col. 3277 b., Gaisf. edition) called) Nicanor (elsewhere (cf. id. col. 2137 b. under the word Κολασσαεύς) son of Nicanor; but commonly Nicator (cf. Appian de rebus Syr., § 57; Spanh. de numis. diss. vii., § 3, vol. i., p. 413)), and named in honor of his father Antiochus. Many ἑλληνισται, Greek-Jews, lived in it; and there those who professed the name of Christ were first called Christians: Acts 11:19ff; ff; Galatians 2:11; cf. Reuss in Schenkel 1:141f; (BB. DD. under the word; Conyb. and Howson, St. Paul, 1:121-126; also the latter in the Diet. of Geogr. under the word; Renan, Les Apotres, chapter xii.).

2. A city of Phrygia, but called in Acts 13:14 Antioch of Pisidia (or according to the critical texts the Pisidian Antioch (see Πισίδιος)) because it was on the confines of Pisidia (more exactly πρός Πισιδία, Strabo 12, p. 577, 8): Acts 14:19, 21; 2 Timothy 3:11. This was founded also by Seleucus Nicator (cf. BB. DD. under the word; Conyb. and Howson, St. Paul, i., 168ff).
