    Description

    Salamis in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Salamis was a city located on the eastern coast of the island of Cyprus. It was one of the first places visited by Paul and Barnabas during their missionary journey, as recorded in the book of Acts. After being sent out by the church in Antioch, they arrived in Salamis and proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues (Act.13.4-5). Salamis was a significant port city and a center of commerce, with a sizeable Jewish population. The city was destroyed by an earthquake in the 4th century AD and was later rebuilt as Constantia. Today, the ruins of ancient Salamis can be found near the modern city of Famagusta, in the Turkish-controlled part of Cyprus.

    Relations

    Direct connections

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
