Word Origin: Diminutive form of βιβλίον (biblion), which is derived from βίβλος (biblos), meaning "book" or "scroll."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "biblaridion," the concept of a scroll or book can be related to the Hebrew word סֵפֶר (sepher), Strong's Hebrew #5612, which means "book" or "scroll."

Usage: The term "biblaridion" refers to a small book or scroll. It is used in the context of a diminutive form, indicating a smaller or more concise version of a book or scroll. In the New Testament, it is specifically used to describe a prophetic scroll that is given to John in the Book of Revelation.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, books and scrolls were the primary means of recording and transmitting information. Scrolls were made from papyrus or parchment and were used for both secular and sacred texts. The diminutive form "biblaridion" suggests a smaller, possibly more personal or specific message, which aligns with the prophetic nature of the scroll given to John in Revelation.
