Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "parapleó," the concept of sailing or traveling by water can be related to Hebrew terms such as "עָבַר" (abar, meaning "to pass over" or "to cross") and "שָׁטָה" (shatah, meaning "to row" or "to sail"). Usage: The verb "parapleó" is used in the context of navigation and maritime travel, specifically referring to the act of sailing past or alongside a particular location. It conveys the idea of moving by water in proximity to a landmark or destination without stopping. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Mediterranean world, sea travel was a common mode of transportation for trade, military, and personal travel. The ability to navigate and sail past landmarks was crucial for successful voyages. Mariners relied on their knowledge of the coastline and celestial navigation to guide their journeys. The use of "parapleó" reflects the importance of maritime travel in the ancient world, particularly in the context of the Roman Empire, where sea routes connected various parts of the empire.
