Strong’s Greek Lexicon
from Αντιοχυς Antiochus (a Syrian king); Antiochia, a place in Syria:—Antioch.
Owing to changes in the enumeration while in progress, there were no words left for numbers 2717 and 3203–3302, which were therefore silently dropped out of the vocabulary and references as redundant.
Thayer’s Greek Definitions
Antioch = ‘driven against”
1) Capital of Syria, situated on the river Orontes, founded by Seleucus Nicanor in 300 B.C. and named in honour of his father, Antiochus. Many Greek-Jews lived there and it was here that the followers of Christ were first called Christians.
2) A city in Pisidia on the borders Phrygia, founded by Seleucus Nicanor. Under the Romans it became a “colonia” and was also called Caesarea
