As our resident scholar refuses to admit when she is wrong I will translate the word Κύπριος.

Κύπριος m. (Kíprios)
1. Cypriot; a male person from Cyprus

Hey GR!, guess what?

Sorry. No results found for "Cypriots of Cyprus" in Keyword Search.

Also ZERO results for any mention of "Cypriots".

So Cypriots did not exist from Cyprus or anywhere else! Is that what you would conclude from such searches?

But plenty of references for "Greeks"; and how Greeks are spread everywhere!

How peculiar that this post has escaped a response from GR!...

Perhaps they were referred to as something else like “Cyprian”…

What the f*ck is a Darby's translation?

Don’t you like Terence Trent Darby?

Btw, I’ve since found a variety of variations for “Cypriot”…

Cyprian
Cypriote
Kupriote

You know, this reminds me of the little story of how the Churches came to be divided.

Someone once said "In the beginning was the word". Now, "the word" was from the Greek "logos" which strictly speaking in its original context should have been translated as "In the beginning was the study". Logos being equivalent "to study" not just "one word". Which meant that in the beginning the earth was part of a study ....

Anyway, it opened up a whole can of worms and that's why we now have umpteen Christian denominations instead of the one faithful ... The Greek Orthodox!

Malapapa ... you clearly have not got a clue. Fail!

You are getting your Modern Greek mixed up with Ancient/Koine Greek!

Would you translate the whole sentence about the birth of the Levite ... that is what is from Cyprus. The Levite.

To use your definition the Levite is the male person from Cyprus.

We have gone round the houses to confirm what I was originally saying (in both modern and ancient Greek)

Basically it is saying the Levite from Cyprus!

Basically it is saying the Levite from Cyprus!

So "Kiprios" means a "Levite from Cyprus" does it?

[Oracle]

And GR! has confirmed they would not have said the "Greek from Cyprus" because that was taken for granted.

The Greeks were/are the natives of Cyprus!

Amen!

Basically it is saying the Levite from Cyprus!

So "Kiprios" means a "Levite from Cyprus" does it?

NO! NO! NO!

Kiprios refers to the birth! ... to the birth of the Levite! ... where it happened!

Ah ok! So what about “Kypria”… Would that be “Levite’s pussy” or something?

NO! NO! NO!

So was he or was he not, according to the Holy Bible, Cypriot by birth?
