Hebrew (derivative of Εβραῖος ‘a Hebrew,’ 93.105) pertaining to the Hebrews The addition of γράμμασιν in some manuscripts literally applies to Hebrew letters, though the reference seems to be to the language, probably Aramaic. In ACT 21:40 ACT 22:2 ACT 26:14 a peculiar form of Ἑβραϊκός occurs, namely, Ἑβραΐδι. Scholars, however, explain it as from Ἑβραΐς, relating it to Εβραῖος (93.105).
